hey guys,
i am alive and well and i can't tell you how much i appreciate all of you.

at this time of year, i have about 24 audits i have to get done. add college visits with my daughter, and i have no idea where the time goes

i have gotten the '61 back from kansas and i now have a beautiful car that is very hard to dirive. you would not believe what a difference 40 years makes in auto technology. my restoration is old (10 years) and i have some leaks, but the body design and jewel blue color are classic. you just love to walk around it and look at it. the Z, on the other hand, sits in its corner of the garage and yells 'drive me, drive me--i want a ford snack".

i love to drive that mother.
anyway, thanks for the thoughts (some of you have emails and pm. )i hope you each had a wonderful thanksgiving and that you will have a better xmas and new year
jack
