There hasn't been much going on here the last few days.  I've been out of town and you missed a chance to act up without me.  
  Actually, the Mrs. and I went to Myrtle Beach, camped it a tent, cooked on a gasoline stove, walked on the beach, and dodged golf carts. Actually, we had a really good time. Our grandson and his parents stayed at a motel just a couple of miles south of the campground and we saw them a lot.  They are still over there.  Chris and I went metal detecting on the beach and found a couple of bucks in change. I can't believe that kid is 16. Time flies.
  About 40 years ago, we took a tent and three kids (Chris' dad, Sam, wasn't born yet.) and went to Myrtle Beach for a week.  Total cost of food, campsite, gasoline, and entertainment was $80.  The cost is a little more now.  It's still a great place to camp, but there are a lot more people. Howard
