Hey Ed,

Yeah, I have noticed that I am a lot better looking since I started doing
STREND!! :-)))

I am planning to go to Syracuse, but I have a well in West Texas that may derail
my plans. You know the old saying--the best laid plans......
Just depends on when it finally starts, or "spuds" as we say in the oil patch.

Hope you are well. Looking forward to catching up with you! My best to Carol!

JC
