Boxman is doing good he has just not been able to be here very often because he has had to take care of his Fathers affairs. He had to put his Dad into a care facility. He will be back good and strong after things smooth out for him.

I talked to Boxman this morning and he will be back soon.  Boxman lost his Dad April 13th, and he has been busy helping his Brother settle his Dad's estate. Boxman also had to have a finger removed last week so he has been dealing with a lot of things lately. A medication he was prescribed also has made it difficult to type or write so soon he will hopefully be able to make medication modifications. He said he appreciates all the well wishes and he will soon be back on-line.  :)

Boxman is still dealing with health issues with his finger, among other things. Please think a good thought for him! If you would like to send him a card please PM me for his address. I think he could use some cheering up!
Thank you.
