Hi Jan,
I'm really really late on this one.. been out of town.
I did wave to you in Chicago when I was on a layover last night (and my flight was delayed). Midway is not the most fun airport to hang out in. I would have called or come over, but it was getting late!
And so I'll join the others in saying "happy anniversary" or  like Kay "crappy anniversary" (that was funny!).
I do thank you for all your advice and support here on the forum.
