  NOTE FROM JUDY

  1. If you read this newsletter regularly, you are a person who sees
     possibilities...who wants to know more by the end of the day than you
     knew in the morning. Here's a fun site that covers many interesting
     facets of life: http://dictionary.reference.com/

  2. I'd also like to recommend www.copernic.com for researchers. It's
     a powerful piece of software.

  3. Hope you're enjoying a good change of seasons. And that, if you
     can, you'll get outside and walk, and walk, and walk. If you have
     dogs, you probably walk anyway, but it's such a fine, healthy habit for
     all of us! Stay healthy.
