    Greetings from longhair75!

    Good morning OBOB. I met with Peter today. My lawn and landscape division is taking a huge tree down in his front yard, so I visited the job. He is almost recovered from his surgery and looks good. I had to settle the ridiculous idea that he was planning to pay for this. After all he has...

    On an even sadder note:

    At last count, 127 people associated with our company in Italy are among the dead. Ten of those are family. Eternal rest grant unto them our Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon them

    Devil is rubbing his hands sniggering!

    I was at early Mass this morning. Father Carlos said he would be there to say Mass every morning at 6.00 and that the doors would be unlocked.
