    My 15 minutes are almost up!

    So I am now "Valentine" material on the web! SWMBO answered a "tweet" and our photo's are all over the news service.
    I guess I'll need to start charging for my XS11 wisdom? Oh, wait, everyone here knew me when.
    For those interested, google my name, Ray Matteis, or here is a link to the AP article. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/3473a...iends-can-help
    Just have to have fun!!
