Tee hee.  Happens in the best regulated families Mike.  Think nothing of 
it. :)  I've 4 terrabytes of storage here, and at my age, remembering where 
I last laid the car keys or my glucose meter is trouble enough.

And you worry about the hereafter too because you go get up and go limping 
off (I tore up a knee last fall) someplace to get something, and when you 
get there, you wonder what it was that you came here after. ;-)

Thanks Mike.

Cheers, Gene
