You're probably right - what the Hell am I doing here :-)

Laughter a bunch You are here, Bill, to have fun.

Joanne is sitting next to me -- sees your name and the graigroad.demon
-- and says "Hi". Her 56 birthday was yesterday and we are having a
partying in the lodge tonight, including carrot cake and champagne
(French, no less). She is enjoying her retirement as I am too.

Say Shwd mae from me - it means How 's it going Joanne.

BTW the graigroad.demon.co.uk will disappear in a week or two - I'll
let you know my new addy when it happens.

Oh I nearly forgot "Penblwydd hapus Joanne" Happy birthday Joanne.

laughter Of course I couldn't pronounce it correctly, but I tried.
And she said, "Oh, goodness. Thank you."

We had dinner, finished off a very good bottle of champagne (have one
left), and then went out on the lawn with all the outside lights off
and looked at Jupiter and its four moons all aligned in the southern
sky. Quite the sight through Whitt's automatic tracking telescope.
The heavens were bright and clear here in northern Maine tonight.
Joanne spotted something coming at us out of the northwest and we are
guessing it was the space station. Elongated, bright, and very fast
moving towards the southeast and then it disappeared, fading into
nothing. Quite the sight. It could have been the champagne, but
non-drinkers saw it and ewwwed and ahhhhhed along with the rest of us.
Neat!

Thirty minutes to lights out.
