been awhile but ive been away from any computer source for any length of time besides checking email. Sometimes the world suprises you even when youre sure it cant. I was trying to plan a trip home to vistit some people, then ala sudden i get a phone call (on a number i didnt think a particular person would know) and people are coming to visit me. No need to travel back " Home " (sic) the people ive been thinking of are coming to see me. Now i can spend money on travel around here when they come, like Portland or vancouver. GOODNESS
