Hi everyone--thanks for the kind words. It is inner ear trouble, and even with suggested head movements to balance the fluids, meds that make me sleepy, and a week of not walking straight--I am still off balance, but feeling better. I do pretty good while sitting. Ha! I have no idea how I got it--but never want to get it again. Hey--can we do the swap all over again next week? I was crushed after a year planning not to be able to see all of you. You guys and gals are the hi-light of my trip. Q--I want to see those books next year! Dave--I'll come up with something to do with pirates--maybe small treasure chests of cards? Jim--how long before your wife felt better? Archie--I'll really try hard to make it in 2010 and bring a chain cutting saw with me. I miss you Paul, Lee, Larry, Jim (all 4 of you), Mary Ann, Barb, and all the others. Hurry up 2010!!!!!!!!! Pat
PS--Daryl did what he could for me and my collection--he is a sweetheart.
