Wayne,

Well, still here in the cat crap capital, Kaysville, though we now have more than one stop light. <g> I'm doing the flip side of your move - Tomorrow I start in a new position -with a title- <g> and more importantly, stock and a nice salary. For those who are saying that VFP is dead... All I can say is "You're nuts!" <g> FoxPro has been very good to me... Perhaps in the next couple years, barring the return of the Lord <g>, I might make some real dough.. We'll see... I've been promised the sun, moon and starts before, only to come up with water, mud and gravel... *BG*

Karol and I are building a new home. We still need to sell this one. I'd expect that we might move in around February of next year barring any unforeseen circumstances. Dodge Manor will no longer have an official "Dungeon Level Two" but we hope to augment our new Dungeon Level One with a concrete bunker under one of our garage bays - dubbed Command Central - should we end up moving our new computer racks there.

I think since we last yakked we have acquired an attack poodle. A toy-sized female that Karol named Ginger. She's been good for us actually. I suppose like your singing, she's something of an emotional outlet. I remember you had a pooch that you were close to as well, though I seem to recall she (?) had to be put down? Unless my memory is totally gone I seem to recall that this was a tough time for you. I try not to forget stuff like that though. *s*

Just as soon as we finish the guest bedrooms on Dungeon Level One of the new home I hope to put out the welcome sign for travelling Fox'ers. We're actually having a lot of fun with the new project.

So.. All in all, we're doing well Wayne. Lot's of good stuff.
Best,


DD
