Dave,
Glad to hear your pop's hanging in there. I have a "praise". After fourteen months of unemployment I've accepted an offer from Lancaster Labs. They took over the analytical testing of the company I've been a manager at for 31 years. I'll actually be coming to your "neck of the woods" for a few days in a week or so. Bear in mind that this has happened two weeks before my salary continuation runs out. God really does work in mysterious ways, never late, but rarely early. My weakness, should have trusted more...worried less!
