<p class="MsoNormal">Hi group,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To DV’s point… I think of this group as my family.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dysfunctional…? sometimes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been just as culpable in pot stirring as anyone else (except maybe FW).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But there is a level of love and respect that I afford to you all that doesn’t necessarily translate to the myriad of other groups I interact with.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe it’s because this group was first… maybe it’s because I’m too much of a curmudgeon. Maybe it’s just that in this day of “If it wasn’t posted last, you have no shot in hell of seeing it”, I can still read every post here…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyway, take care of yourselves, and thank you Kristi for the Head’s-up on Jeffery, and June for the FB note from Roman.<o:p></o:p></p>
