First of all I want to thank everyone for the kind wishes and prayers for my recovery. I don't remember this but I was told my heart stopped as they were wheeling me into the ER -- scary thought that Fortunately the EMT who used CPR on me was good enough not only to get my heart going again but NOT to break ribs while doing so. I've been doing my best to stick to a low sodium, 1800 calories a day diet since then (something I should have been doing since the first time I collapsed from CHF )
Second big event to make me feel better -- well, for me anyway -- we got our IRS return finally and had enough to upgrade from Vue6 Esprit to Vue7 Esprit (I even bought the handbook this time )!!
Then comes the third happiness -- I got an e-mail from e-on Software, the makers of Vue that since Vue8 had just come out a few days ago and I had so recently (less than 30 days ago) upgraded to Vue7 they were sending me a free download to upgrade to Vue8 Esprit as a valued customer
This A Sheep Under Apple Trees is my latest at =kabegami using the new Vue.
Finally, although this is not a happiness -- it is a first -- the Weather Channel has issued a frost advisory for Sacramento and the northern central valley of California. You don't get frost advisories in San Francisco !

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we should stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
