I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF CHANGING TO A NEW COMPUTER.  MY PRESENT COMPUTER MAKES PUBLISHING DIFFICULT.  PLEASE CHECK BACK, I HOPE TO BE BACK SOON.
       


            

The Public Reader welcomes you with the hope you will
be entertained or enlightened, and will come back and see

blended with diversions enough to keep the mood light, so
you leave us refreshed, and if we are completly successful,
