(2) My Granddaughter, who is 4 and big half, likes The Octonauts especially Captain Barnacles, and is telling everyone that she starts University in September :-)

Dear Les:
I was looking for the answer as to whether one uses KIND(15,307) or kind(i4) etc.. could have sworn I asked that question, when I stumbled across a set of posts from 2011 when we adopted our last child, got towed in Houston and got a Brown Belt from Intel and found out Steve is a Ninja - albeit a bit slower these days -- remember the Japanese Ninja's from the '60's who used to slide down the high tension wires and do all neat stuff - Steve how did you do it?
I nearly died laughing - but the post is closed so I copied the best one here.
John
