Thanks. I get to spend time with my 93-year-old mother (who loves politics, but will refrain I hope), some of my children, and some of my granddaughters--one of which notes imperiously that she will be 5 years old tomorrow. I consider myself one of the luckiest people on earth. I wish you all peace and happiness. Make it a good day. ;)
