Hi all...
Just wanted to let you know that I have been down for the past few days with a very bad cold. It's now pretty much gone through me and I'm feeling much better - so I will in the next few days get back to finishing the web site update - which is actually just updating the Carpenters Online Hall Of Fame page. we have three new additions for the page.
Also in the next week or so I will be updating the singles page - as a nice friend sent me some nice crisp images of Singles picture sleeves - so I will replace some of those with better images - though I will most likely leave some of the ones which show the wear on the sleeves - as I think it's kind of interesting to look at some of those original picture sleeves just as they may have looked in some of our very own collections.
I was also sent a nice picture of the original "Offering" album cover so I will be replacing the one I currently have on the Albums discography page.
You can see these pages at:
Singles discography: www.carponline.bravepages.com/page6.htm
Albums discography: www.carponline.bravepages.com/page5.htm
Thank you to all for being a big part of my life and for showing so much dedication and friendship!

Hey there webmaster: So pleased to know you are on the mend. And, so sorry to hear you had any health challenges in the first place. A summer cold is tough to deal with, but a winter cold is twice as miserable in my opinion. (Of course, in SoCal, can you tell winter from summer?) Oh I'm just joshin' ya - I know there's probably at least a 10 degree temp change - i.e., winter's in the '70's and summer in the 80's? Anyway, I'm just happy to know you're getting through it. If I've been reminded of anything worth being reminded of this past year, it's how blessed one is when one is in good health....if you have your health, you've the ability to have any/everything. Taking the chance on sounding redundant, your work and dedication to this website are just unparalleled, in my book. It always looks great - has interesting topics to peruse, terrific photos, articles, interviews, photos I've not seen elsewhere, and that touch that you give it, Rick - that personal "Rick touch". Thanks for that. Thanks for ALL of it. You have given US a gift here - more so the friendships we've each developed with you and each other, and a wonderful, fun website, too. It's us that are fortunate. All my best, Tim

Thank you my friends for your kind comments.
Seems like ever since I contracted asthma I get sick (with a cold or flu) about twice a year and in between I tend to get sinus infections fairly easy. There was a point in time (way way back 30 years ago) I would get sick about once every three years - and just ten years ago I'd get sick no more then once a year - but now the asthma thing has made me more susceptible to colds, flu and sinus ailments. Fortunately I have the asthma under control quite well - but do have to take medication daily for that... ho hum... that's all part of aging - and I am sure glad that I'm here to be able to talk about it.
Once the updates are completed I will definitely let everyone know.

Again to all... thank you for the kind words of concern.
The completion of the updates is going slow - as I just purchased new maintenance software for my computer and I am currently optimizing the performance of my computer.
I have managed to update the Album Discography page. I changed the old black and white photo of "offering" to a colored pic of the album cover. I also added links to the forum's "song by Song" reviews for each of the albums which do have a "song by song" written for it. The last "song by song" was for "christmas Portrait" and was written by GoodOldDreams - our web site Commentator. I am currently working on the "song by song" for "Made In America". I should have that posted soon.
See the Albums discography page here: www.carponline.bravepages.com/page5.htm
