My, you guys have been busy during the night.

Just opened up the forum this morning and found all of these great notes. Johnnie and I both appreciate the well wishes very much. Simmers have to watch their priorities very closely to stay married for 20 years, as we all know. ;-)

As Gary mentioned, Johnnie and I have a cruise to Bermuda planned for departure at Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday, September 18th. It looks like hurricane Ivan may be making other plans for us. So we watch the projected storm track daily wondering if we go or not. Will keep you all advised.

Hope we get there. We have been planning a future multiplayer event for Bermuda and, if it works out, we'll have some great photos to share from our trip to add some realism to the adventure. Stay tuned for more information.

Thanks again for your kind remarks.
