For all who know Chris I can say that I did see him in person a few weeks ago and he still looks the same. Just not sure if that's good or bad!!

Dang man. Glad to see you back. It has been a while. You gotta stop living to work and work to live. It's a fine line.

Been wonderin' what ever happened to that rascal. Glad you poked your head in here man....Good to hear from you again. Lately, I've been kind of a no show myself.....for life reasons of course. Nice to hear you're alive and well.

Breaks in life (vacations) are well deserved and it sounds like you and I both need one. Between full-time work, family (with college son and pre-school daughter), and me going back to school for a second degree...things do tend to get in the way. I'm doing all that I can to do to make all three above things mesh into place with life......It's extremely hard.

Hope everything works out for you and your family......keep plugging along and hopefully all will work out for you............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ....................................until ObamaCare takes hold.............................................. ......................................then we're all screwed!!!!!!!
