Hi again, and thanks everybody. It's nice to have such a great welcome, especially from the regs. I work for a Web based Sports Network, in charge of their message boards. I'm used to having to censor a few innappropriate posts almost daily. It's nice to read intelligent posts by nice people here and not have to deal with flamers and such.

My dog's name is Sunbeam (I found him playing in a Steam Iron box 12 years ago). He is a rescue pup, and he's 13. I never would have thought of having a Poodle, but I'm hooked. They're really smart dogs. Sunbeam can understand dozens of phrases, and will do almost anything for a piece of chicken.

BTW, I'm 45, married 21, and my name is Tim. I'll figure how to update my profile now.
