(In my best "Dr. Smith" voice)

"Oh dear, OH DEAR!"

You may need help Anita! Without eating and sleeping you can forget
about doing much of anything!

Tom, there are a lot of meteorites I'd like to get but can't as well,
not all of us are well off enough to get everything we want. I certainly
am not. You have your priorities straight, keep them that way.


For me it's:

1) Eat
2) sleep
3) work
4) Dog
5) Aquarium Fish
6) Houseplants
7) Meteorites
  
 My hobbies can all be expensive (astronomy, ham radio for example) but
they don't HAVE to be. If you try to "keep up with the Jones'" you will
lose. You can never win.

Happy new year to all!

Tom Randall
