Happy Birthday, Eddie. It's a great picture and sounds like (as we Norwegians say) a pretty good OK day. As we get older we take joy in different things, and it sounds like you have found some good ones. I always enjoy your posts--you have a talent for writing. The AMC world is a better place because of what you do with your website.
