Hello!
Hello, my friends. I'm afraid that I may be away for a little while but I wanted you all to know that you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I'll check back in as soon as I can. Keep the campfire burning and watch your sixes! Love, Bill

Re: Hello!
We'll miss you! Hope you are doing something fun (and mysterious!). Better watch out or we'll start a "what's Bill up to?" thread like we did with Brenda during the Olympics!

Re: Hello!
Hey Bill ... if you're going to Nelson to visit Grandma ... stop in and
have a coffee with me ... I'm only about 1500 miles from there ... just
a bit out of your way ... you could meet my dog sled team ... and you
could see the big pot where I'll be planting my swiss chard seeds ...I'm just
saying ...

Re: Hello!
Hi Harrie
Watch your six ... means that you should look behind you for dangers coming that you can't see.
