Hello and holiday greetings to everyone on X-Marks!

I must apologise for not responding to peoples posts as well as to threads that I myself have started.

Things are just a wee bit hectic around the house as moving day creeps closer. We're now only two weeks away from the big move, and I have to make a couple of cross-country trips to the new place before the final move happens. The first trip happens in less than an hour from now as I make the 1200 km drive out today then a 1200 km (700-ish mile) drive home on Saturday. Woohoo!! However, tomorrow is the day when we take possession of the new house, so it will be a memorable, although bifurcated, trip.

We've also been dealing with a small health crisis involving my wife's parents, which has kept us quite busy. Things are improving somewhat, but major changes are happening that has added to the stress on everyone. Putting one's mother in a nursing home is never fun for anyone involved.

So, just a note to say that I'll be away from the 'puter till sometime late Saturday. I hope that everyone has a nice weekend!
