Dave, thanks for responding to me. I'm sorry for your loss of Alan and happy that you had 6 good years together.
I'm in the hospital with pneumonia for the third time in a month. Tomorrow they're going to do a broncoscopy to find out if there's another issue. But the good news is my three daughters are throwing me an 80th birthday party in a couple weeks. Yay!. I have to get well for that.
