Wisdom in your words, Gershon. Hope looks at what can be - what is possible! Your lines bring that truth to light. Really nice my friend. And as we sometimes say in my family's inky-dinks: Hope-a! Hope-a! Hope-a! Be blessed!

Easier to outlive your money than it is to outlive poor health. Heh, heh. Thanks, David. :) Gershon
