We've got pros playing now. Somehow that takes away from the games. Even the soloist was lip-sync, but I'll still watch a bit. Vince

Oh Sean!!! Welcome back, and with quite an entrance. You have been so missed. This is an incredible winner haiku! So glad I checked my email and thank you so for your comment. Thank you. Having personal problems on the home front and have not been able to be on the soup last few days or so. But just had to take a brief moment (with tears in my eyes - the emotional wreck I am lately) to say welcome back! Big hugs! Love, Shar
