Steve,

I pray your wife is doing well and will be 100 percent after she heals.

Thank you for Del Mar.

true story....I had two friends that fell off step ladders and shattered their elbows. they are okay today. I am
the one hurting today because when we go out drinking neither one can reach back and get their wallets out.
