hello (again) to all.

i just thought it would be proper to say a little something about

myself since i am one of the newer members here...

you guys can just call me mike. i'm turning 41 in a couple of months.

i am from the philippines and my wife, kathy, and i have an 11 year

old daughter -arjanne. i've had asthma all my life and hope to learn

and share a whole lot with fellow " fighters " like me.

thanks and breathe easy, everyone!

peace.

-mike i.
