Rick! It's great to see you! I always love to hear about you and your grandsons. It's obvious that you guys have a total blast!
The fact that retirement is actually within your reach must make you giddy with delight! I, too, hope your test results are good and whatever the problem is is easily treated.
InPar! A big raise! I guess the boss can't be that much of a jerk: she recognized and rewarded quality! It's nice to know your employers have confidence in you. I'm glad you didn't do anything rash. Congratulations on getting your dog back!
