Thanks for the input, John. I also want to say that I was impressed by your previous post "Reflections on Christmas from a Parkie" to the extent that I printed it out for all my family members to read and learn from. i am also blessed with two wonderful children and a great wife, just married 25 years. If we could get dad feeling better, life would be close to perfect, with all the normal trials and tribulations of being a parent, and a child of aging parents, etc. which are "part of life" for the lucky ones. Happy New Year to you and your family. [OO] LOOKING FOR RADIOS!
