I failed, miserably, but I’m not taking 2 dings for missing “I want to be alone” TWICE (question 7 & 12)!! Larry – guess you guys are just gonna have to visit us in sunny Fla and we’ll make several excursions to the movies. Whaddya say? Happy Holidays to the Jacob family.
Sorry for the dupe question. After someone else pointed it out to me I posted an amendment. We’re not going to FL this year. Taking family to Jamaica for Nancy’s 70th. Best to Rick.
