Congratulations Arthur! I always enjoy reading your posts. Glad you were selected as this week's shining star. Enjoy it! :)

Hi, Michael, Thank you for those kind words. I tried to make my bio a little different so concentrated on two aspects of my life which have been central to my survival as a human being. I appreciate your visit.

Hi, Kathy, Thank you for coming by. It is slowly dawning on me how lucky I am.

Hi, Lee Lu, Praise indeed! Thank you very much for sparing the time to come and post - I know how busy you are.

Thank you Tanya, It always amazes me how much support I have in this great community of ours - I'm thinking of starting an Old Coot Cult but I am not Guru material.
