Hey Dandy Don, As always, it was great to hear about you and vivian. I wish you would tell us some more stories about that tree-climbing, lesbian dog of yours, but I can understand how having a unique animal like that, you might want to keep her hidden so the tv folks don't swamp your house trying to scoop the story. Glad to hear you are keeping up your spirits, and I know Ivan won't forget you, nor will the rest of us. I haven't been online much at all for a long time. I did get another computer, but when it wouldn't do something it was supposed to, I called support, and they told me to wipe the hard drive. I thought I had everything backed up, but forgot icq and some other stuff. Anyway, i wiped the drive, and dadgum if the thing still doesn't work. Oh well, I am beginning to suspect computers just don't like me. Janine and I are staying real busy these days, trying to get financing to start a charter fishing service on the Mississippi River. Before you tell me your fishing days are over, let me tell you my plans. While we are getting into this in the hopes of making an income, I am also planning on finding sponsors for people like us, who have pd and maybe don't have enough money or think they are too far gone to go fishing. I am going to fix the boat up to handle a wheelchair, and have guard rails around it too. I figure a bad day fishing is better than a good day sitting at home anytime, and I am hoping to make a lot of good days for people who otherwise wouldn't be able to take a trip like this. I'll let you and the list know when we get it off the ground. Right now we are applying for help in the form of grants, and so far things look very promising. I've found a good used boat, but may not get the money in time to buy it. If not, I will try to buy a new one and pay it out. Either way, I am determined to make this work. Maybe you and Vivian can come go fishing later this summer, who knows? I have to go now, got a lot of paper work left to do this weekend, and i'm like you, not too good on spelling some times and I get kinda slow when Mr PD acts up. Keep your chin up, and don't ever give up. We love you tex and idlewild --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Midwest Tel Net Web Based Mail. http://www.mwt.net/
