But it sure was refreshing....its raining like at the Classic right now....hope it quits before Morning....have to take my Dad to the Cancer Clinic tomorrow....they want to do a Cat.Scan on his chest...they think they seen something in an X-ray last month....so now it may have mestasized and entered a lung...I sure hope not...we'll find out soon enough...
