I hope that means you are happily rolling the bucks!

I'm still watching tho', as Frank says, I've become volunteer operations
manager of one of the largest Rose gardens in the world!  Leaves me
little time to work with TSE, tho' I use it to work on updates to our garde=
n
of nearly 5,000 roses of 3,200+ varieties!

I certainly do, tho' the 'net gives me a worldwide forum to discuss and
learn about roses, my new love.  The garden work is a great way for an
old deskbound type to force himself to get the exercise to keep fit as I
approach 70!
Unfortunately, while beating on a keyboard is great exersize for the
mind and fingers, it ain't much for the rest of the body.
Thanks, James, for thinking of me.  I do miss those creative times.
Regards,
    Mel
