Folks- I have been absent from the boards for a month or so as my company has failed to pay the internet bill. I am back online at my Mother’s house for the next three weeks. If you were concerned about me, not to worry. -Paul, in Maryland. ---

Well damn! Welcome back Paul! You most likely don’t know me but I’ve seen many of your posts and kind of in hindsight I’m thinking, yeah, he _hasn’t_ been around, has he? Glad you’re back at the Dope and back in the States, mate! ---

I will be in the area until the middle of April. I have to see my broker, do my taxes and if time allows, I will get my tail down to Mexico. It is sort of nice having nothing to do, but I suspect it will get old soon.
