Thanks for the kind words.
I had a great wife, and a stern doctor. An older fella who was 6 months from retiring to Florida and its golf courses diagnosed me with an ulcer. One of them bleeding ones, jeez I am only 34 years old!
My old lady was more peeved I kept up with the drinking in spite of the puking blood thing. She's no purist, you can't be living with me.
MH, my old lady calls me rough around the edges. She is amazed I have friends.

(I curse like a sailor IRL, after all I am an Italian-American)
Platypus. 18 years. God bless.
