   Thanks for your best wishes, John. I haven't been around here much   
   lately, mostly because my father died early in November 2006. Kicked my   
   ass well and proper, and continues to be a source of great sadness. I   
   think timr and a few others here know exactly what I mean.   
      
   Still, music is comforting. I've made several different compilations of   
   SD music, along with hundreds of other songs I've recently   
   "discovered," and spend more time listening to music than anything   
   else, with the exception of...

   And maybe it's because my dad died, I don't know, but I made a plan to   
   finish one of my several manuscripts for publication this year. I've   
   been working on it every day since the year turned.   
      
   I'll keep ya posted. Hope you're well, too.

   I'm sorry to hear of your sad loss, Diane...I lost both my parents within a   
   year.   
   It's probably no help..but it worked for me that the anguish you feel can be   
   your inspiration to create something ..Use it.   
      
   Hugs babe.
