Thanks to your good wishes, my "trip from hell" was more like
"Purgatory".  Survived five whole days!!

You didn't let me down, either - it's taken *days* off and on to catch
up with all the great posts!  I'm so happy for Fox and Sam(my) and
Frank, et al.  And still hoping and purring for good jobs for those
needing them, for health problems, lost and sick kitties, the works.  

And, Jeanne, I loved your disavowal of relationship to Hurricane
Jeanne!  You're off the hook :)  I didn't fare so well with *my*
pronunciation, and took some good-natured ribbing.  To make matters
"worse", my middle name is Frances.  

During the trip, I did manage to meet some nice cats.  There were
Widget, Hoover, Stone-Evan (don't ask), and D-Day, AKA Kit-N (a
previous, now-RB cat, was Kit-E).  All were rescues and socializing
beautifully.

Anyway, it's good to be back to as normal as it gets here and a
delight to be back with the Group.  Best wishes always to all.
