Thanks for the bon mots. Mother was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia at Mayo several years ago, and just wanted to go back for a complete checkup even though she's under a doctor's care locally. Mr. M and I didn't want her, at 79, to travel alone, especially connecting at O'Hare. So I'm all packed and ready to go. See yunz later. Good luck with the campaigning, C.
