  2. Ed,
    Off topic....

    Sorry for my recent absence in visiting your site. I simply haven't had time to make regular blog rounds. Nor have I had the heart to do much blogging lately.

    Maybe I'll feel a bit better in a couple of days. Tomorrow is the memorial service for my friend -- who has perished at a young age of breast cancer. Five young children! I grieve not for my friend; she is in the arms of the Lord.
