Another EGO-RAMA Thank You; From the New Guy

[47-forvette]

I just wanted to say thank you very, very much to all the RRT members who took the time to vote for myself and/or for any of the other RRT members to participate in the R&C Asphalt Ego-Rama.  Especially, since I'm such a Newbie here.   You will never know how much my wife Judy and I are looking forward to this week-long road trip adventure.  For the last two years, she and I have been caring for my mother Mary as her illness (Emphysema) progressively became worse.  She just recently passed at the age of 81, on 8/25/05, after a week of Hospice assistance.  I'm sure that after dealing with all of the trials and tribulations associated with settling her affairs, we will be more than ready to make some new friends and memories starting in Lake Tahoe at the end of the month.  

It sounds like Denise and Phat Rat have a handle on keeping the forum updated, so Judy and I will work real hard to give them something to write about.  However, I will be bringing my other toy, a new digital SLR camera, so maybe I can feed them pictures worthy of internet posting.  A picture can be worth a thousand words, or maybe a couple of cookies.

Again we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and we promise to be participants worthy of your vote.

Hey Slocrow, Thanks.  My wife Judy was born in Cleveland, and her parents hail from there.  You know any Svoboda's or Loves???

I use to work with a girl named Maria Svoboda (I think the spelling's the same). She would be in her mid 50's today. Her last name now is Wilson though she just hasn't changed back as a divorce occurred some 20 years ago. Don't know any Love's......Frank

I stand corrected.......not to mention in addition, the lovely Maureen, who just broke her foot last Friday. So in response to part two it looks like I'm going to miss the Zoo this year, dang it. Though I have been thinking about how to get there and avoid the divorce......

You shouldn't be stomping on her feet when you are TRYING to dance.

Actually, she fell down the last two stairs coming down from the second floor. Rolled over on the left foot and damaged the 4&5 metatarsal area, top side center. No cast but this type of injury comes with a bag full of "honey could you please" type requests...... ....Frank

And hey, I'm a fine dancer er dancer tipper...........
