I'm glad to be back. Thanks for the email. Tough year. Last July my neighbor's house was struck by lightning. Fried many of our electronics, along with other houses on the block far away. Tropical Storm Sandy brought 29 inches of the bay through our house causing substantial damage which is still not fixed. I do have good flood insurance, so it is only a major inconvenience. My 1985 Maserati Biturbo gat flooded and totaled. That's an OUCH! My wife had her hip replaced, and 2 weeks later she lost her Mom. Despite all, we are fine, sort of. Meanwhile I still have one basjoo that I have moved in and out of the house for winter and summer. I never get pups. My windmill palm has survived 4 NY winters and being totally submerged in salt water during Sandy. I hope all of you are doing great, and I'm glad to be back again!
