Glad your mom is doing okay, Koala.
And BF - the sightseeing sounds like it was a fun day!
Soda - kudos to you on your celebration of Don's birthday this past week. Unfortunately, this week was really hectic for me, so it was all I could do to get on the board before midnight to wish Don a Happy Birthday. My job is currently in the 'let's change everything we've been doing' cycle, which is always keeps things 'interesting'.
