Fellow space friends- I apologize for being offline, but for the past year my situation forced me to be bed-ridden and confined in a care center — without the internet! It may seem that in the 21st century that the whole world would be connected with hot spots, but surprisingly no. At first I treated it like a cruise but as time wore on it was like a long-duration mission to Jupiter. Later on, I eventually even built some spacecraft models. I am well now but have to use a walker to get around. But what a year. — J.M. Busby |

Glad you're back. Being offline for a year would be difficult for me. I work in IT all day long... And for what it's worth, sometimes I agree with Jimmy Buffett: You're caught up in the internet. You think it's such a great asset. But you're wrong, wrong, wrong. We're all "Fruitcakes" in one form or another! |

Glad you're back J.M. I noticed a scarcity of E2M Lem Man posts! Question - how do you deal with a year of emails? |

Jim, good to have you back on board. You are one of the best and I'm sure you'll make up for all that lost time. |
