welcome back Hans, we missed you.  and it's good to hear your daughter is
doing great.

and as far as the lottery goes, it may be fun to play, but the lottery is
really just a tax on folks who aren't very good at math.

Wow, I just checked in on this list for the first time in weeks, and I see
my name mentioned in a couple of threads!

Technically, my parental leave is now already over, and hopefully I'm back
on the IBM payroll. But now I'm cashing in on some of my 2003 vacation
allotment. I'll be back in the office on Monday. I *think* I still remember
all my passwords, but it'll take a while to sort through my e-mail and
catch up on all the good stuff Barbara has done with the compiler.

In case you're curious, the baby is doing fine. She had her 4 month checkup
and innoculations yesterday. She's growing well, and she's now as big as
the average 6 month old! I wouldn't mind staying home to watch Tamara grow
up, but unless we win the lottery jackpot, that's not really practical.

Cheers! Hans
