Oh, doesn't life move on... Some of us are greyer, or balder, though I might say not that worse for the wear, the main evidence that time has passed being the height of our kids... or the fact that they are moving out soon (yes, we keep hinting).. well, okay, I'll admit that mine never did live with me, so I don't have that problem really, but you have my sympathy.

I would like to pay my respects to Tom Green, ex RF-contractor, who regretfully took his own life recently. He was an intelligent, compassionate fellow curry-goer. He will be missed by all those who had the privilege to know him. I cannot find words to express my regrets and grief for his untimely demise.
