Thanx for all the well wishes and the "welcome backs".
Mrs. Zero and I had an absolutely wonderful time. If you ever want to go someplace tropical that is quiet and restful, where you don't have to worry about *anything*. Just let me know and I'll steer you to the website for this resort we went to. We went snorkeling every morning (high tide) on their corral reef. We saw great schools of brilliant colored tropical fish, huge mean-looking lobsters, a barracuda or two, even an octopus once. Every afternoon we'd just "veg" on the beach or by the pool. All the eats and drinks we could stuff (or pour) down our throats was incuded in the package. It was the most relaxing week I think I've ever spent. (BTW, they even treat the water so it's safe to drink.)
Now we're back to work and trying to dig out of a week's worth of mail and e-mail and laundry.
I've finally caught up on the transmissions from the probes. Now I've got to get caught up on all your discussions on the boards and the messages you've sent to the little guys. Maybe by tomorrow, I'll be back up to speed.
Hmmmm...gotta figure out what's up with the probe hologram.
