Too soon to tell.  I need to see what management does to her and how
they focus her and what she thinks of the product, yada yada yada. I'm
more focused on the fact that I have a new boss coming on October 1. THe
6th in 14 years. Heard that you lost some weight and look great!  Don't
you love living in a small environment?  Nothing is private. How have
you been feeling since your surgery?
