Thanks, cowboyjunkey. Would that be Dallas Cowboys? I’m a Broncos fan myself.
Thanks to you too, Jon. Sounds like you get it! Sorry to hear that you got bashed; how ridiculous. I know you must be very thankful for those friends who help make it more worthwhile. Yes, the music, the music, I sometimes wish the whole thing was music.
