finally getting a new laptop next month and will be able to Blog or email from wherever. Its a generic but with DELL guts. Going to be doing some newsletter stuff for my company so I get to fool around with MS Publisher. I 'm also having excel loaded in to save me time verses using ACT and I can do more with it. It was 8 degreed her this am!! All of no GA was iced in yesterday and its funny to see them try and drive. Its a horrible mess. Luckily it dosent say that way long though. Hope you got my message Pay asa they changed my email formats and its doing funny stuff. Yes, Nancy with all this www stuff the worls is smaller and things move faster but hopefully it'll also lead to a better informed and thus educated public. I used to read the WS Journal to keep up before all this.

fI guess I'm the only one who's warm! Still sunny in L.A.

Hi all, Glad you have been getting messages, Pat. I guess everyone is trying to stay warm.............looks like it is hitting everyone!! I am finding out how small a world it really is. I just had a phone call from a friend that I was stationed with in England. He is in OK now and has family not far from me. So I guess we are going to have a mini reunion. It was great talking to him. Brought back alot of memories.........take care everyone and keep warm!!

mst be too cold for ya'll to Blog....ha ha. Well, fri am its suppose dot be 10 degrees here, ugh! Heading out to FL that am then accross the panhandle to Mobile and up to colder Memphsis then back home. Not much else happening. Hope to see more posts when I arrive home. Also hope to replace my laptop next mo and then I can Blog and email while on the road. ciao for now.

Hi folks hearing from lots of you - thanks to Nancy! I'm even getting notes from people who do not blog!!! Please keep up the good work. And thanks

Well, I'm back from flying around the frigid mid west. Mike, Paige lives in Dacula? Thats not very far from me. I used to live in Lawrenceville (which had the distinction of having Larry Flint shot on the court house steps) but now live in Loganville and keep an office studio in Lilburn. Funny Richard, you can tell the out of towners as they all pronounce Da Ku La as Dak U La. Georgia sure does have some odd names. Just came down from our plant up in Penn Dutch country. Great food and cheap prices! Brought back a little GMC Sonoma. It did alright but I can't really call it a truck its so small compared to my full size Ford.

I sent you three e-mails this morning that my "system administrator" electronic friend reported to me were undeliverable. I'll try to e-mail you now from home. I had a wonderful Indian dinner last night with 5 other couples (one of the best we've ever done together).

thanks for the notes I've been receiving. Once I get a note from you I can add your address to my address book with the touch of a button and then easily add that to the mailing list I'm re-creating. So please keep those cards and letters coming in!

I hear all the Vermontel addresses are returning as undeliverable. anybody know what that's all about?

I have the list Pat, I'll send a message to everyone on it and relay the info. I'm sorry the happened to you I had something like that happen to me once but I could still get into my address book. I hope this works for you.
