Thanks Bo.  I guess I was thinking it might be a PatentLawyer or even some newer one.  I lurk a couple of times a week and try to keep up somewhat but I miss a lot.  All of this time waiting was somewhat expected though.

I miss Ron's presence as well and hope for his return.  To me, this will always be his board... and he was kind enough to give all of us a seat.  However, I respect his decisions, whatever they may be.  As long as he is well. 

It's raining and the sky is squatting trying to spit out snow.  I hope to get out this weekend to wet a line... good luck to you.
