Haven't seen any activity here for some time. Hoping that all are
holding their own and feeling well as a result. Going to be hotter
than blazes here around Bwastun. Needless to say, be careful when
venturing outside and keep hydrated (liquid type optional <G>)

Hi Bob, Everything is good here. Busy growing an herb garden,
and a few other projects..
Read a very interesting book that I'm recommending to everyone:
"Zen And The Art Of Happiness" by Chris Prentiss
It's written from a Zen Buddhist prospective, but isn't preachy
or trying to "convert" anyone. But he offers some guidelines on
how to deal with 'bad situations', and how to turn them into positive
experiences. It mirrors my own beliefs and experience, and can help
anyone (In my opinion) who gets hit with something bad (like SD)
and yet be happy.

cheers!

Good to see that you're doing well Dave. Been taking a few trumpet
lessons and applying the art of Zen to my playing. It really makes a
difference where even though I'm pushing 63, I'm already planning my
90th birthday party where I'm going to play "Happy Birthday" and burn
my tushie off doing it. All here are invited. Hmm! Herbal garden???? I
can think of a few herbs I'd like to grow in my garden that might aid
SD victims. But my next door neighbor is one of my town's "finest" ;-)

Wonderful! A bit of continuing education is a wonderful idea. And the
b-day party sounds like a hoot. I'm up for it!
I'm not growing any interesting herbs at the present time, but only
because I don't have any source for seed. ;-) And my garden is on my
deck, and nosy neighbors have already asked me about it.. haha
