Thank you very much for sharing your story with us, Evan. �May both your K1000 and the memories of your Dad, as intertwined as they are, stay with you forever. On a less serious note, however, I have to point out that, if I were celebrating my own 32nd birthday, I (who am actually a "few" years past 32) would certainly not feel melancholy. �You know the expression, "If only I knew then what I know now..." - well, that's my thought for today - <g>.
