Hello Ladies and Gent's....

Man, I don't know where to start. As some of you know, I'm a daddy now...the greatest gift a man could ever be blessed with. The best thing from above about my wife and I right now is that we have a family. It's not just her and I anymore. Close to 40 years to get here [for me] and it's the most wonderful thing we have ever experienced in our lives. Nothing else even comes close.

I just wanted to chime in, say that I'm still here.....life is GREAT and that I'm a little busy at the moment. Due to circumstances, I haven't listened to music like normal in quite some time. I miss my tunes and they will come back....come to think about it, I miss most of you Loony Tunes as well.

I'm just chiming in, saying hello and hoping that all is well in Polk country.

'Till the next episode.....................;)

    Awesome--You got that right-well said. Life changed forever for me--1000 times for the better.

    I think you'll find that those shows or movie scenes where kids go missing, get hurt or put into danger that may not have ever bothered you before in the least, will start to have an emotional effect on you.

    Congrats Tom! Sounds like all is very well down in NC. Good to hear, and hope things keep rolling along smoothly for you.

    I know I was deeply affected when I saw my nephew for the 1st time, so I can't imagine a child of my own. Good for you man.

    As far as being an audiophile? I'm quite sure he'll follow in his daddy's shoes. I do know that he likes Air Supply already. Fitting for him, seeing as how he has gas issues....

    Thanks to all. I should be returning back to my normal posting [warning] soon enough. Priorities, you know......

    TTY'all soon enough.......
