It's pretty hard to put aside the necessary time to keep the body in some sort of non-amorphousness :-) I've taken to the gym three mornings a week at 6am - an ungodly hour in winter - which it is here. Also need to get up a few times during the day to take a comtemplative stroll.

Well you wouldn't want to get Him off side! Last time I visited a cathedral, which was for those beautiful Christmas Carols the church was attacked by storm and tempest. There was even lightning inside arcing across the many steel banner holders and so the ABC had to stop the recording. I kid you not; scary stuff. Am I being told something!

>We had Ginger, out toy attack poodle <g> spayed. She was pretty rugged for about 3-4 days but she's back to begging table scraps again so I'm presuming all's well in her little head. <g> BTW, Craig Berntson has been attack-licked by Ginger and hardly survived the ordeal... <g>

thanks for the warning. I'll be on my guard next time I'm in Utah, LOL.

>Work's going well. I'm overwhelmed by the sheer volume of work but enjoying it immensely. Like any other startup there are various kinds of struggles but things seem to be moving in the proper direction. Next week, who knows??? <g>

>And you? I hope all is well with you and yours..

Really well thanks! Today marks the beginning of the final year of my company's 3 year contract with a large retailer. I could retire! But I won't - the work is too much fun. And at times overwhelming as you say. I'm sure you'll do well.

Anyway best regards to you and your family...
