Keep at it and good luck!

Just checkin' in - no time to look at the grid this week but have been on a "shore" on the Outer Banks for the past few days celebrating the 50th wedding anniversary of close friends, a wonderful time had by all, great weather and no rain for 4 days! Back home in Detroit today, where it's raining again, and back to work tomorrow. Happy Dad's Day.
