Update
And while I am on here today--
For those of you who are interested, my family genealogy now has in excess of 46,000 people in it. A couple of months ago I decided to see if any of the people I grew up with were related in some way. The genealogy is for both my family and my wife's family--her maiden name was a common one in West Virginia, mine not so common anywhere. But I have discovered long ago that hers' and my family crossed beds more often than I could have imagined prior to starting this thing. Anyway--as either a part of my family or hers', most of the families in the hollow were related in some way or another. Not only that, but most of those we knew in our part of the county were related, sometimes doubly or triply related back and forth.
I have some families all the way back to about 1100 or 1200 AD while there is no data available on some beyond parents and possibly grandparents (at least not yet.)
New truck--I bought a new truck back last October (2007.) The insurance agent asked me how many miles I would put on it in a typical year. I told him maybe 3,000 or so. I checked it yesterday and it now has 846 miles on it.
We lost our oldest kittycat back the first of February. We named it Tommy when it came around looking for tea and sympathy some nineteen years ago. We were disabused of that name real quick, my daughter got her spayed and her name became Thomasina, Tommi for short. She was a mixed breed, multi-colored, gray striped with white and black and a little yellow here and there. She was an adults only kitty, didn't like children. She was an only cat for about five years and then we absorbed our daughters' cat, Scruffy, when she discovered that her allergies would bother her constantly as long as the cats stayed in the house. We had our son travel out of state to get Scruffy and bring him to our house. After a little dominance fighting, they finally resolved to stay out of each others way and that went on for a long time. She is gone now, relegated to a grave overlooking our yard. Scruffy is not yet feeble but will not last the nineteen years that she did, I'm afraid, even though he is approaching fourteen or fifteen now.
Computer system--My hard drive crashed last weekend and had to be replaced. I took it to my son and let him do the work, as I am completely lost in trying to do such stuff. We recovered practically everything except a few files that were unimportant anyway. He brought it back yesterday and it works well (with one thing that I have e-mailed him about excepted.) And a few weeks before that, my Brother printer decided it needed a new printhead--again. I decided to spend the $85 on a new printer and now have an HP jet. Beautiful color and comparatively, pretty fast.
Enough for now. Time for a cup of coffee. Later.

I'm SO glad you got your computer fixed. I was missing your comments on the blogs.
I got a HP printer a few years ago, and the first thing I discovered was that they used a whole lot less ink than the previous printers I'd had--which was good. Ink gets expensive!
Anyway, glad you are back :)
