SNL, I just read your public statement that you have (OH MY) lusted in your heart. As a class leader, I think you owe the class a full explanation. While an interview in Playboy is not necessary and not going to happen, details appearing here would be a good start with a period following for questions. Truthful answers are required. We await your declaration.

Some folks were in Vietnam but didn't attend the war.

Oh, I thought that wd be VNV, for Viet Nam Veteran.  Got it, tnx!

What a beautiful day today in Texas.

VietNam War Vet?

Not that I'm the sharpest tack in the box, but what does VWV stand for?  Volkswagen Veteran?   I didn't know JD drove a VW.

Yes...RN...you are getting warmer. LOL

Hey Ada Ann, tell Sophie that Luke says Happy Birthday! I can't wait until they are old enough to email each other.

VNV, would you believe Irish stew with a draft Guinness(sp?)?

Well RN...you tell me...LOL

I thought the purpose of retirement was to stop burning the candle at both ends!  Yes, my oldest and dearest friend was spot-on!  I did retire!  After 18+ yrs, I decided to turn in my keys and head for the hills!   I haven't been around in a while as we immediately began entertaining Bruce's son and daughter-in-law from Alaska the very next day. They left on Tuesday morning, and I have just been attempting to recover from golf, shopping, touring the new Cowboys Stadium, Easter shopping for grandones, Easter Day with the grandones, looking at a dozen or so homes as  the kids announced they are relocating to our area and hopefully by June!  Bruce and I were able to opt out of Six Flags!  Oh I forgot, we also took them to Opening Day at the Rangers ballpark.  That was really special as my son and my grandsons also attended.  I'm still recovering and taking everything a day at a time.  I have to recover quickly as my cousins in San Diego have invited me for a trip to the wine country at the end of the month!  I never knew retirement could be so much work!  Happy belated birthday, Rod.  Susan, glad to know your procedure went well. Our little Hudson is growing like a weed!   Happy birthday to our little Sophie!  Now, I'm gonna take a look at all the new pictures I've missed.
