You are quite welcome. Sometimes I just feel the need to stand up and be counted. I have been around this board forever and I do not want us to lose our fun.
And, btw, I am going to digress here for a minute so anybody who does not like that idea, just don't read past this point. I tend to digress a little from time to time and this is for the Virginians......
I just want to say to you that I recently spent two nights in your wonderful Virginia city of Charlottesville. We were on our way back from Rodanthe, NC. We toured Monticello and also Madison's home. When I think about our Founding Fathers, I always wonder if the times made the men or the men made the times. All that genius in one place at the exact same time. Wow!
I am thankful that this defining part of our history is being so beautifully kept there in Charlottesville. And the countryside is so wonderful to drive thorough on the way to visit the homes of those men who wrote our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.
...just wanted to throw that in here for you and now I better go unpack. And I better get out of here before I get into trouble for hijacking or something. .....never could color inside the lines.
