Going on Adam's account of 2003 - I would say it didn't suck to badly, I personally had some downs that made 2003 a year not to remember (the loss of 2 very special canine friends), but this shows that there can be balance, even if it all the balance comes at one time. http://home.earthlink.net/~lunitix/ Best Wishes through the Holidays to all of KLUG.
