Hi Rick, and thanks for your support. The "Hello Dolly" satire is a good one. My disappearing caregiver's "husband"is an "abstinence" speaker for Bush. He (Luis) has a darling illegitimate daughter so I guess that qualifies him (he's no teenager)on the subject. I really really like Marisa, although she has some mysterious ways besides being a Bush supporter, but I know what you mean re your brother. Our political differences never got in our way either. Yes, I sign every petition Diane sends me along with petitions from some other folks on this List. It's all I can do.
