Thanks guys.

The night before my b-day, we had a TERRIBLE storm which knocked down a 40' walnut tree, an apple tree, a huge limb from a maple, and two huge weeping willow branches, one of which hit our house (knocked stuff off of my shelves, but didn't hurt anything) the other branch took out the neighbor's deck.

But.. my actual birthday was lovely.. went to the Chicago field museum.. saw Sue the T-rex among other things.

So.. I've been kept busy, that's why I'm late at responding to this!
