Actually, the websites are doing fine.  The problem is I can't work full time
right now and once chemo starts I'll be doing even less.  I might sell the
business if I can make an arrangement that will give Angela what she needs.
It's all up in the air right now though.

That's been a two way street, Frank, and I've never been the major contributor
though I've sometimes been less than charitable.  For that I apologize.  I
really don't care if anyone else apologizes for the numerous attacks on
myself, my business, my wife and my family.  That's not important to me.  What
matters is doing what I need to do for those I love.

Well, it's been quite a ride so far.  We only met a few years ago.  I'm
blessed beyond measure even to know her, let alone win her love and loyalty.

Thanks.  Same here.
