    You're a wise man to take a break like that. Glad to see you back.

    I've been contemplating it myself, only a break from casting and reloading in general to focus on more important things. I've tried a few false starts only to get bored and start tinkering again. I really need another hobby.

    Glad to have you back, and I hope you will stay. Yours was always a voice of reason. I, for one, welcomed it.

    Glad to see you back, your presence was missed. I understand the need for a sabbatical.

    As a fellow Waldstroms sufferer welcome back. My treatment has not been too bad except when I reacted to the Retuxin going in too fast. Turned one long day of chemo into two days. Other stuff in those bags is working quite well. Four years between last chemo . Two years on this treatment . Dr has some new stuff she is going to give me with the next chemo. The uncertainty of when I get the next chemo is a bit disturbing. Marrying off #1 son on Labor Day weekend and then going Antelope hunting with both sons in October. Going to attend the wedding period. Not sure what to do if she trys to interfere with hunting. Took about three series of chemo to get my cancer under reasonable control. Hopefully yours will be under control.

    The reports of your demise were greatly exaggerated

    I am taking Retuxin IV once a month and Imbruvica per oral daily. I am scheduled for 6 30 day cycles and I will start No. 4 next Wednesday. Thus far, the Dr. seem happy with the way the numbers are going.

    I'm still here! Glad to see you back. So many disappear and no one knows what or why. Hope you are able to get your health issues under control.

    Welcome Back Charlie! I'm very limiting my time here at the moment - major challenge learning a new software suite for work - Yes, I'm still working. LOML retired last August and asked me when I wanted to and I told her "Lynne, I go to work to have fun!" I'm thinking the fun will be back once I'm up and running on this software.

    Knowing when to retire is a dicey thing. I pulled the plug in 2008 because I was just marking time and knew I wasn't giving it my best. The job and people deserved better so I packed it in.

    As a certified Battery-Powered old fat guy I'm here to remind you what we've been demonstrating to our adversaries: old Texicans are hard to kill. The one fear I have for you, however, is that you might let your Bourbon level drop perilously low. If you get this far north we can fix that...
