I'M BACK!
Thanks guys for the paging. For the last 3-4 weeks, it was so 'toxic' (to quote my son's word) what with all the preparation for the wedding. I arrived Phil May 7; my son's wedding was on the 15th and 2 days later, the golden wedding anniversary of my folks. Came back to the US on the 21st. Report to work the following day. Whew! what a day!
Came back with a heavy cough and an empty wallet.
I apologized for not getting in touch with the Phil-based BOGS while I was there. I'll make it up next time.
The car accident was a nightmare but I survived, thank God. Front passenger side was a total wreck but somehow, they managed to make it look like 'new'. And I got to drive an Infiniti G35 for a week while my MDX was in the shop.
Salamat vega.
