Well, Guys, I thank you for your best wishes, and also your concerns. However, I have survived SMELLIE for quite a few years now, including some of his Chili and also a few good Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners, so the prospects look pretty good on this one.
I took Max along with me for a visit today, and kind of kept him under control. Next time, though, Jan, I will let him loose in the living room. (Max is a 100 pound Labrador Retriever, very friendly, with a tail the size and consistency of a baseball bat.)
Since Jan seems determined to "let the cat out of the bag regarding my age," the next time she sides up to me at a Gun Show, bats her eyelashes, and says, "There is a nice old gun over on that table in the corner --- could you lend me some money so I can buy it?", then the Bank might be closed. Warning, Jan! If you mention my weight on this Forum, I will definitely Foreclose on the last Dauphin Show purchase.
Seriously, thanks to everyone for the Birthday Wishes.

Buffdog, Happy Birthday.
Twosteam is a shameless flirt. Thank God for women like her.
