Gotta make this quick.  The flood has ruined my job and I am selling my
house.  I'll be moving to Brainerd, Minnesota soon.

I anticipate that it will be a long time before I can join the MMD group
again.  I have really enjoyed the time I was with you all.

Robbie and Jody:  Good job!  Please take me off the subscriber list,
but I know where to find you if and when I can resume some sort of
normal life.

Best wishes to all, and to all a good-bye!
