Sparky ... Thanks for the good wishes ..... I hope your holiday was a GREAT one  

 ... I've been off the board for a few days enjoying a FABULOUS holiday with our family ...  wife, 2 kids with great spouses, and 4 grandkids, just about non-stop for 4 days  
  
  
 .... seemed AWFULLY quiet when all went home last night ... You are absolutely right ... we ALL have a lot to be thankful for, regardless of our personal situation ......
