CIB:
Lest you think I've disappeared or gone elsewhere or whatever, I'll assure you that I'm still here!
For the "umpteenth" time, I had real computer difficulties. Turns out to have been a really bad buy, 2 1/2 years ago. After numerous frustrating sessions with service contract folks, I managed to get some relief.
Now, equipped with a powerful and highly friendly new computer, I am making my way back. There's still a great deal of work to do to resurrect old documents, spreadsheets, etc., but I feel pretty comfortable that I won't go down again!
Meanwhile, my cruise with my daughters and sons-in-law was very successful. I have converted four more folks to the pleasures of cruising! Even after 5 of the 7 nights in which the sea was classified as "Rough!"
While I'm still recovering from my lack of computer and from having been away, I am still here, and will be at TOTV's luncheon on 17 April.
YOU REALLY MUST COME VISIT US. I KNOW THAT PORTLAND IS A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE, BUT TV ARE BETTER!
