>>Hi Kevin,

>>From a just turned 71 year old, thanks for the reminder that I'm headed for the nursing home. Maybe that can wait till I finish my annual 500mi bike ride across Iowa and don't forget to notify my 100 or so clients that the software package I wrote and support will soon become suspect since I may be approaching senility.

>>BTW, no excuse of course, but it may be possible in this age of UN-civility, that the "discussion" between the senile old man and the younger movie patrons may have become increasingly violent, even threatening.
>>
>>Excuse me now while I dodder off and see if I can find something to wipe the drool off my chin.

Now what were we talking about? I can't find my keys but that's ok, I don't remember where I was going anyway <s>
