Take care of yourself, DG. I have always enjoyed your posts, your humor, your savoir faire!

Looking forward to seeing you here again, when it's time.

Of course, you know, if he truly has checked out, he's not reading any of our missives and good wishes.
But it'll all be waiting for him here when he gets back... gets back... gets back to where he once belonged.

He was online in the last couple of days, reading the thread.

Actually, he's online right now.

I have read all the responses in this thread and I'm not sure how to say thank you enough. Your thoughts and comments have been enormously helpful and I sure don't feel "alone" dealing with what I'm dealing with. Several of you have PM-ed me, and for that I'm also grateful. I hope to be back soon, back to my old self.

Until then....

Circumstances probably haven't changed any in so short a time, DG....but you sound a little more yourself. The "boys" here at the corner bar are keeping your seat warm..................................

In the meantime, we'll start planning your next new bike purchase for when the skies are a little sunnier.

You should know by now, after that one is straightened out, something else will come up. I know that's how my luck has been.
