I am still alive and kicking (but not very high or fast), I've recovered much since my stroke, but not in finances. Essex just sits there, waiting for someone to come along with some cash and take it away. I feel sorry, I had a lot of fun with it for a few years, but alas, time for another to take it over.
I thank, sincerely, all who stuck with me through the years with comments and encouragement.
God Bless you all. Bye
