Man man man, my hat off to you, chicagoman. My journey was not as half difficult as yours and I was going crazy at the time. How the hell did you do that? What a Valentine, huh? My most sincere congratulations and I wish you, your wife and your boy well.

I used to be indecisive. Now I am just not sure ...

Congratulations-Finally :dance: :dance: :dance:
