Tom (& family),
  We're glad to have you back, especially with the promise of an
increased normality for the whole family.  Good lunk on continued
improvements for all.
  On this other thing though, I'm sure that you have noticed from recent
past emails that there has been an intruder poaching on your home turf. 
I know, it's not that he got something that was rightfully yours, the
problem is that he knew that it was there!  The knowledge is the key! 
You have to get a grip on it!
Best of Luck,
Rand E.
