You would think Christmas would be tough, and I dreaded that first Christmas after her death. But the opposite happened. Her death has given me such a great appreciation of family and friends. Christmas means so much more to me now than it ever did. Yes, there is a sad time at 3:10pm.

Since her death, my wife & I have adopted 2 children (well almost, Donald's adoption should be finalized in the next 2 weeks). I have also got a great deal of enjyoment from the place I call the Happiest place on Earth, Give Kid's the World (www.gktw.com) where my wife and I volunteer as Mayor Clayton and also do family volunteer work with our kids as Airport Greeters or special events at the village.

But, I really wanted Specifications of the 8700. I really haven't been able to find them here. It would be nice if there was a "sticky" with the specs and pictures, maybe after Nov 1 that might happen.
