quality internet time has been difficult to come by.

So stay tuned. I"ll return on the 20th with the full story.

Meditate on this:

Think about how good our life currently is in America thanks to the four
founders of AIDS PROJECT LOS ANGELES coming together in October 1982 to set up
a telephone hotline to answer questions from the community about AIDS, simply
known at that time as GRID.

Think about all the people alive today and give thanks.
