    Ray,
    This must have been around the time their silverware
    was disapearing as I remember the news articles of the
    missing forks and spoons quite well.

    Just kidding Ray,
    I think its time to pack and head out....Just spending
    the nite and getting tests done...nothing major that I
    know of...but costly none the less...fist time i've
    seen a doctor in 20 years...I think I'm due for my
    checkup...at least I'm pretty sure you supposed to get
    a thourough checkup every 20 years...

    Good night all,
    If I don't make it, someone bring a ouiji board to the
    next C4 convention and I'll try to contact you...

    Steve
