>My youngest son, Justin, spent the last 8 months in Paris. We went to visit him before he came back home to Georgia (like we really need an excuse to go to Paris? <g>). He was studying architecture at Georgia Tech and they have a program there where the seniors can go to Paris to study their final year at a sister school. Isn't that a great place for studying architecture? Anyway, we spent a few days with him and then he went home, and we spent a few more days on our own before we came home. It worked out pretty good, he showed us some places that we hadn't been before and we showed him a few that he hadn't been to.

Kudos to Justin, and to the parents who helped him. (Making them is the easy part, isn't it? Nurturing them for 20 years or so is the hard part).

Glad to have you back. I really do worry that my new .NET knowledge will slip away from me while I am here (VFP, heavy SQL Server) the next several months. I plan to keep checking in here regularly to fight off rust.

Welcome home!
