Thanks, Ed. How sorry I am that Tom and I can't be in Las Vegas to meet all of you. He HAD actually planned to take us there for our Sept. 11th anniversary (33 years smile ), but this stuff got in the way. I've never been - he goes in January for the Builder's Assn. trade show - and he thinks I'd get a kick out of hotel architecture/design.
What date will you all be there? Which hotel?

This has been a better day for Tom, although he has a big question for all of you - - is the radiation treatment going to make him nauseous - or just ruin his throat? His system is not handling the chemo drugs very well and he seems to be in a perpetual state of
'ready to vomit.' He's getting apprehensive about what to expect when the radiation begins next week. He's also not sure he wants to know!

(I KNEW this was a good website! smile )
