George,
Wow, I'm so sorry you have been feeling so bad, that is no fun at all, but
I'm glad to hear that you are on the mend today, must be your birthday
present. On that note, Happy Birthday to you and I hope you have a good
day, and many more to come. Thanks for doing the list for us, I really
appreciate the list, it's wonderful. Now don't party too hard today, and
take care of yourself, Miz Anne, and Sleepy the dog.
Jane
