Happy Birthday, Jan!

I remember being your age (1992).  Bill Clinton was elected to his first term as U.S. president, Silence of the Lambs won the Academy Award for Best Picture, the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series, the Washington Redskins won the Super Bowl  (# XXIV), Boyz II Men were the hot pop singing group and regular gas was about $1.15 a gallon.  My son was entering adolescence but your twins weren't born, yet.  Feel any younger, now?  :)

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Wow - a dancing puppy, huge letters, talk of cakes, margaritas, and clean MRIs; what more could I ask for?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And just for the record I'm not half a century yet  :o - that's next year  ;D

Appreciate the well wishes and am very disappointed that gas isn't still $1.15 a gallon  :'(

Best news is that I am employed again; start on October 1st.  I accepted an offer last week - and although the salary is a lot less than I was making, it's a place that I think I'll be extremely happy.  My new bosses seem to be great, it's a small and friendly place, the commute isn't outrageous, the hours are good, and the insurance coverage is definitely nothing to sneeze at.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
