Apr 10

It's nice to hear good news and I am happy for you, Congratulations! (my wife and I are up there also). There is so much bad news these days. As I grow older I realize just how scummy so many people are - whether it's from the news or looking back at the people I worked with over the years. Enjoy your time together! Time is fleeting.
