Hey Ron~ I know you're sitting between Aunt Blanche and Popoo at the big poker table in the sky! You're a newbie so Blanche won't let you deal but maybe she'll let you shuffle! Keep Buzzbomb in line and kiss your mom for me! Tell everybody hi. Rest, relax and enjoy yourself. Love, your favorite cousin, Kelly Burk Blank
