Nancy, top of the morning to you !  

 NB> And the more I try to pull back,
 NB> there's always more in the wings to fill the time... 
 
        This is the mark of an active mind and the body follows. There
  is more than meets the eye in this, heredity is the main factor. We
  take after our parents for good reasons.

 NB> I have known some that, despite plans to stay active, kicked over
 NB> right after retirement... even sadder...  Also, I noted that when one
 NB> feels "put on the shelf" and no longer needed, often
their demise is
 NB> not long coming....  also sad.  
 
        The numbers show us that even if in some exceptions this is
   true, the majority will follow their "trend" and if well alive
   before 65, they will also be well alive after. 80 now is another
   kettle of fish.

 NB> You sent me 2.  One with the 3 of you, you rowing...  and the other
 NB> with the three of you and the young lad rowing, with a very studious
 NB> expression on his face like he is trying to make it work like a pro. 

        That expression was the pay off. I spent close to 100 hours on
   this small rowboat, it was fun. You got the best pixes. I send them
   to you just to show that pleasing young ones is for grd-parents to
   do. I did not want to pester you at all, honest.

        Bluewave is still doing great. Persons on Win95 got me to try
   NNTP, I did but most of the time I am here, where I feel at home.
   Thanks to your chum and before this effort of his, to Dale for
   making this still possible.
     
       
...    I alway do the MS Updates !
...     Just to protect all here and myself first.
