Are there any "experiences" out there that could be shared with us - good or bad - on this subject?
Maybe it hasn't been discussed because there's no real "need" to discuss it - and that's a good thing! But we're just curious...and I feel that this forum has always offered honest, thought-provoking, and to-the-point information about any and all subject matters...so I challenge you to keep up the good work!
PS: My hubby's the golfer in the family, while I am addicted to the computer and the techy world and stay as far away from "sports" as possible! THANKS for any responses that you'd like to share.
If for whatever reason, you'd prefer to send me a private message re: this topic, please feel free to do so (although I have no idea where I'd retrieve that private message!!!).

The couple two doors down from us are African-American. I don't know what the numbers are and don't care. They are wonderful neighbors and we are becoming fast friends. I can't say as much for some of the people in TV that are not. The character of the people is what is important and not the color or lack thereof. We are all mixed up here, but most all of us are here for the same reason you want to come. There is plenty to do for both of you to do your own things or to do them together. Welcome!
