Before the Glaciers Melt

On Friday of this week, Carole, my ex-wife, and I will leave Atlanta for Vancouver and then embark from there on a cruise up the inward passage to Anchorage, Alaska.

    • Jeff Nelson: Wow!!! I am tickled to death about this opportunity that has come your way at this time in your I really should be helping you with all of the particulars that go along with such a move, but find myself trying to keep up with the train of my life as it moves down...

    • Tom Wright: Perry: Didn't realize it was for 2 years--which doubles my chances I will get out there to see you. My friend Steve lives in Santa Fe and has extended an invite, so things are looking very New Mexico-ey for the future. Best of luck on this and everything.
    • Perry: Thank you, everyone, for your good wishes. In particular, to you Tish about the award you've given me, I can only quote Jack Benny who said, "I don't deserve this award, but I have arthritis and I don't deserve that either." ;-) Also thanks for pointing out the error you get when posting...

    • Lee Collier: I know this is an old thread, came up in google as I'm searching for an answer to an Ubuntu boot problem. Just had to mention: Perry - the reason that Gutsy is detecting your sound card in VMware but not running natively is that, as far as I know, VMware presents a very...
