Thanks; a good entry, this .

Sitting in a chair receiving IV drugs, as a beautiful child with her familyin attendance was undergoing IV chemotherapy next to me, provided me with a similar experience.

You have a very good Christmas.

Your selection of men was excellent. Adding your own story made it so personal. I pray the coming year brings all of us in America happiness and good health.

I will see you at Fiddlers Green.
