I've had a few listers email me about this old thread. The archives only go back to June '98, so I'm glad you saved some of these old posts. I still can't find "Reoccur" on the web dictionaries, but I've only looked at a few of them. I still use the word, and I do have "Reoccuring Dreams" :~D Looking forward to seeing you again in Topsfield Patrick! (and as Bob previously asked "What color is your hair this year"? lol Jimmy
