many to the bridge. even one on New Year's day. I want to send drool to
Pearl, Lucas and any others who are sick. Hope they all recover quickly
and will be good as new. Hopefully the gates will close for a while.
Just too many are leaving, even on New Year's day. All are in my prayers,
and Ben is drooling the best he can, without any scores on New Year's eve of
day. May 2012 be a good year for all.</FONT></DIV>
