I don't want to keep you reading a too long response, but it's good to hear from you.

Don't be a stranger. You could visit us more often, believe it or not there's people here that wonder about those DU'ers when we don't ever hear from them.

Glad you beat that dreaded cancer. Sending continuing positive vibes your way!
