FYI. What do you suppose a Care Facility is?

If I were still in Illinois I would volunteer to go to Peoria and help 
out in some way -- wash dishes or cook or do laundry or walk the dog or 
something -- though I can imagine a thousand ways in which such 
assistance however well-meant would quickly become misguided and awkward.

Marc, I'm looking forward to reading thoroughly your three-volume 
exegesis. I have returned repeatedly to the only volume I have seen so 
far, which is the first.

Eric
