Merger

"It's good news," he intoned to the 600 or so gathered at 0730 hr this morning. "We are not closing down and they are not closing down. It's a merger."

     My last post in 2011 seems like a decade ago. Spurred on by Pauline, who has been curious to read my blog, I tried several times to locate my blog without success - talk about 'out of sight, out of mind'.
