Hello Everyone:

I am new so let me introduce my self. I live in the wild and windy west. I have a feeling that I may be considerable younger then most of your as my college years have long past (although they seem like yesterday to me) and I was never blessed to have children. Rick reminds me of my husband (who passed away a year ago on the 18th of this month) so that is why he caught my attention during his reports from Iraq. Up until that time I had never bothered to watch Fox News and now I am quite a fan of Bill O'Rielly, Hannity and Colms, Shepard Smith and of course Rick. Like all of you I hope he returns soon on a more regular basis. I missed all of his interviews when he returned back from Iraq so I am kind of curious, as to how he looks and sounds, now that he's had some real food, rest and a shower ;-).

It's a curious thing how becoming a Fox News Fan has help distract me lately from my loss and given me a new focus on getting on with living. I haven't been a "fan" of anyone for many years (many, many years) - at least not the kind of fan that gets together with other fans. So, this is fun for me. I look forward to our occassional visits. - EAJ
