My goodness Ninja your update came as a nice and welcome surprise right
out of the blue!
Are you just passing through, or can we count on you looking in on a
little more regular occurrence?
Your very correct about not putting on the back burner for later stuff
that should be done today, while were fit and able to do it!
Life seems to have a habit of turning and biting when one least expects
it, so best enjoy it on the hoof.
Yep there are few names around from your days, some have just Morphed to
another, but many have drifted off through necessity
Take care
