<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all. When Edison came in from the cold
Rainey weather yesterday morning, he got himself warm by running at full tilt
from one end of the house to the other end and back. "He's ready to go
back to work", I said to myself; and so we made our quarterly trip to the tax
office with Edison guiding me from the car into the building and back. I
knew he could work, but I wasn't about to push the river. He pulled out in
harness and his guide work was perfect. We didn't miss a beat. So
tomorrow, we'll shop for groceries and spend a quiet day at home, but I'm glad
he's back in harness. So is he. Functional tests like this have an
analog to human experience. I was walking two months before I was supposed
to after shattering my ankle on both sides. The real test was a full play
bow. Bye for now. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
