Robert, I am using a friend's 'puter while travelling and visiting, in the Maritimes. I am amazed how warm and bright the weather has been in the Woodstock area, which is located about 120 kilometers north of Fredericton--the capital of NB--on the beautiful Saint John River, which, BTW, rises in Northern Maine. Interestingly, much of Maine is west of NB, not south.

At this time of year, all the trees and bushes of the non-evergreen variety are showing the splendid fall colours. "...the ferver glow on summer's face" as one poet put it.

This note is just to say, hello. I will be back at my own 'puter sometime late next week. LGK.

You are missed.

As of today, Thursday, I am back in the swing of things and getting caught up on what has been going on. It is good to know that one is missed.
