So glad you enjoyed it, my friend ... I heard a stat the other day that this has only been true for about the last fifty years, due to the modern advances in medicine, etc., and felt it might be good to remind people that despite all the "gloom-and-doom" we hear, we can at least say that life is gaining ground. Probably more a word to myself as anyone, as I tend to lean toward the negative and melancholy. ;-)
