Rumors of my death, greatly exaggerated.
Rumors of the demise of my company, also exaggerated.
My disappearance from these august pages coincided with the death of my personal computer and the company system as well. Backup program that promised gold in a disaster produced excrement. We were able to fill orders with a borrowed computer, but were unable to bill credit cards for a variety of technical reasons. Orders duly sent but not billed.
The good news, I now have a computer that�s beyond state-of-the-art. I designed and built a water cooling system for the CPU, among other enhancements.
Pheasant season opened in North Dakota last Saturday. We are over run with birds. Rare that we walked more than a hundred yards without kicking up birds, and that�s without a dog. Two limits in two days. My lifelong near aversion to eating pheasant overcome by a recipe I invented. My wife went back for thirds. That�s like winning a Nobel Prize, the Super Bowl and the lottery at the same time.
More pheasant-hunting coming up this weekend.

Good news and bad news!
Good that the good at least counters a lot of the bad and in the end prevails.
Hang in there, Amigo!
"Good enough" isn't.
Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.

I'm happy to hear your good news, RogerK, and would be interested in learning more about your new computer. The more details, the better.
Here's wishing you good shooting.
Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. -- Daniel Webster
