Trying to back read as much as I can. Prayers and good vibes to Rick's dad and to Tracy. Lou, glad you're feeling better. Tim, you too.

At shuffling, been going hard all day long.

Quick positive note. Took Tanya out for a 96 mile ride around the country side last night. She likes the Mustang seat but said her jacket was fitting too tight. (Advice on how to proceed)

I'm just happy our division (IBM Security) did well enough to get anything. We hear so much gloom & doom, plus the supposed $5B price tag for the divestiture I thought I was going to have to pay them to keep werkin

Chris, here's my advice based on 48 yrs of marriage. Since you spent a sh*t load of money on your bikes. memorize this : " Honey, I think it looks fine but if you'd feel better having a new jacket, let's go buy you one! "...you win regardless of what she says.

Speaking of relationships, Last night Cheryl mentioned that the kid had some thin mint Girl Scout cookies in the freezer and they were off limits. I didn't say anything. I just got up, went to the freezer, and grabbed two. She got all wide eyed and said "You can't do that - those are his!" I laughed and said "Do we really want to play the I bought that game? Because it will go very badly for him." She shut her yapper.

Win!
