Hey Jim, I feel that same way except that in my case it is the ages and not the Aliens that have caught up with my old friends. I guess I could find a lot of them in Greenwood & Evergreens and they aint amusement parks. Remember we both grew up on 12th Street!!! :shock:

Terry, our prayer will be up in about 15 minutes, but for right now, May God keep you in his arms and protect you.

I want to send out a big WELCOME to my brother, Charlie Sanchez. I was trying to get Suzie to keep on calling you out but it seems that it was Mike coming on board that finally got you on. I wish you and Lisa were coming with us tomorrow but I know you have the surprise birthday party for Denai. Please give her a big hug and kiss for me and remind her that I love her.
