wow, what a shock..thanks to those who voted.
actually, I entered this for the Feb photo of the month but was not submitted early enough.
I did not even vote for myself due to limited internet time. my best friend and business partner passed away (lung cancer) last weekend, I'd been busy helping his family with the funeral stuff the past week. he was also in the hospital the month prior to his death, and I'd been spending most of the time I usually use to surf the net with him, in the hospital.
thanks again, what a way to pick me up.
