Thanks people, it keeps on abloomin hard to tell what it will be like next year. Life settling down a bit, my oldest son has his own apartment, moderate autism does not keep him from working and living by himself though I do get phone calls at midnight asking what to do about a sore toe--I think he just wants to talk. My wife has taken to wearing one of those pink shirts with a picture of a pink ribbon on the front and seems perfectly healthy after modified radical surgery-no chemo-no rads no spread life is fun..---------------------------------------Weedy
