Good morning, Carol... did much better this week than last... then again, I wasn't comatose half of the week! I'll admit to deliberately skipping over a couple as no matter how often I have commented on those author's posts over the years, there is never an acknowledgment or a return comment on one of my posts.

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker 
I'm glad to hear you're coming out of the fog post-surgery. Thanks, as always for checking in on the week's SCS selections.

Carol Williams thanks, Carol... still tire very easily, but at least I seem to have my wits about me.

We have smokey conditions here due to wildfires so not a very healthy environment for golfers or other outdoor activities.

Hi George Souto 
Yes, we're getting lots of new members, but so far we're not having much engagement by them. They don't know what they're missing.
