Hilarious Fred!

That image of a woefully distraught Sam will never leave me :-)

So where and when might we find you?? Can I still use my keyer?? My hand
key looks like a work of art but is so clunky even Alfred would have
rejected it.? Sam is reported to have been so distraught that his
numerical dictionary was being rejected in favor of "copying by ear"
that he took to bed for several months.? Sadly, it wasn't his bed, he
was a guest at a friends house.? We do have a guest room, but need
advance notice should you plan to become equally distraught.? More than
a day or two and we'll have to schedule a trip to Costco.
Granddaughter's track meet is canceled on Fri, I will have time.
