Always. My son has karate belt testing on Saturday. Going for the first stripe on his blue belt!

Might just go up to camp this weekend - the first time this season! We have a rural cabin on a lake, no electricity, gas lights, wood heat. Can't swim though, the water's about 40 degrees, if even that.

Hope your world is turning brighter and greener.

Doin’ good friend.
Am happy to hear of everyone joining in on the tea parties, despite the rude and obnoxious comments from the Old Media. :)
