Hey guys! Thanks for your posts!

Bachus - I was sooo lucky while stationed in Germany to attend the North Sea Jazz Festival. Oh my.... what a beautiful trip that was! Everything from the marzipan pastries for breakfast followed by tours of the gorgeous countryside to dozens of stages of great jazz until 2 AM. Wow. That was an experience!

Scott - I'm hanging in there - so glad to see you back on here! Me... In October, I changed jobs after 14 years with the same company - lost a lot of personal vacation time (earning it that is - went from 24 days a year to 15). just glad to find someone that would take me at "senior citizen" age.... ha ha. Not sure how much longer I will do the software testing job. If I can craft and market my music work a little I think I may be able to just call it quits here in the Spring.

Randy
