Hi, everyone,

I need a break and will be off of OS in June. No problems. Just want to do some other things I have been neglecting, including reading books, and listening to music, watching movies, and watching ball games without the computer in my lap multitasking. But, MOST OF ALL, spending my evenings and weekends with Sue, going out to dinner, etc.

I will drop by now and then to check my PMs, and you can always contact me by email at me at montecanfield@gmail.com.

Blessings, Peace, Hope, and, most of all, Love,

Monte
