Hi Janis,

 JK> and hopefully that was a great evening :) :)

It was fun; the 2nd half of the concert was more enjoyable than the
first.  They really needed a much larger projection screen than they had
available for some of the effects.

 JK> > Yes, and Steve is very understanding.

 JK> He sounds a lot like Ron in that respect :)

From what you have said, yes.  If all goes well, you'll meet us both
this summer.

 JK> Well, you do have to be meticulous about it, but once you've done it

 JK> 3 generations that I know of :)

And nobody in my family has any sort of traditional pre Christmas
dinner.  My mom's Christmas dinner is a carbon copy of her Thanksgiving
one with the exception of sometimes having a goose instead of a turkey.


 JK> I was so happy this week.. I went to a different food store 'cause I

 JK> grabbed two of those figuing my daughter could use one as well :)

And if she doesn't want it, you will be just as happy. (G)

 JK> I can understand that one.. I'm often the same way when ever something
 JK> is in any way iffy that way :)

Better to not try something than try it and have consequences.

 JK> haha Yes, they are nuts :)

 JK> Makes for a touch easier clean-up at the broom level? (grin)

That's a good reason for keeping them around. I can't use that excuse
tho; it's a choice of breathing (without pets) vs not breathing (with
them).
