Glad to hear. Any idea when she might first make smoke and noise?

That's a good sign...she WANTS to run....

I've been waiting a few days to post my response as I wanted to allow others who knew Ron personally to express their condolences first, and also wanted to fully process what happened myself. Although I never met Ron personally, I read many of his threads/posts and as soon as I learned of his...

Welcome!

See what the principal thinks of that one...
