>Thanks Everybody, I appreciate the kind words from my WC friends. Your support means a great deal to me.

Funny, when I met my wife-to-be, she asked me how much money I had saved in the bank...er, nothing. career plans? er, someday, I'm gonna be a big time woodworker. Apparently, she bought it! Now, 27 years later, a glimmer of hope. Somehow, I always do things the hard way. LOL!
