    Somehow I never, ever, thought of him a a "Mike". He was much to formal for that whilst being "jusk folks".

    I didn't either. He seemed to be too refined for that. I never
    thought of him being hoity-toity, more of a guy who had refined tastes.
    I wish I'd had the chance to meet him in person before he passed.

    I also consider myself extremely lucky from not dying from either of my heart attacks.

    Nancy and I were nip & tuck and I enjoyed the challenge. I note that you've upped your game recently

    I enjoyed watching you teo going at it in Scrabble. I admit to using
    help to find words but i have been paying attention, like pulling off a 45-point word in my last turn today. LOL

    I keep a Scrabble dictionary/glossary at hand. It helps.

    Never give up. If you're going down take a few with you. Bv)=

    Misery not only loves company, nowadays it insists on it!
