Hello from Boston, Massachusetts!

Hi Guys!

My responses to all your nice messages:

1) Bruce, you are correct, sir! I am about 20 minutes or so from the Patriots' playground.

2) Oh Griff, you and I are are gonna have problems. Baseball problems. Your Yanks managed to whip our @#$%^^&*! last night but tonight's another night!!!

3) PC, thanks for the New England welcome! My hubby went to school in Canada (McGill University in Montreal) and he holds Canada very near and dear to his heart.

4) Hello Pangloss! You lived in the nice areas around Boston. I went to school in Boston (Northeastern Univ) and hung out in those places too. And yes, the Raynham-Taunton dog track is still alive and thriving -- it's parking lot is full all day and night -- despite ballot ammendments to close it down.

5) Hi Maui Nick -- Bruce is right (is he always right??) - Buster is a chihuahua. Alas, he cannot type . . . but he is writing his memoir out longhand as we speak!

6) Big V -- I LOVE YOU for changing Griff's Yankee signature! You will always have a special place in my heart for that one!

7) Jay McGee, Taunton (which is near where I live) is about 45 minutes southeast of Boston. But to those who live elsewhere, it does seem pretty close!

Thanks for the hearty cellar welcome!

Cher
