It's s great that you got to go to Ireland! It is true that this BB is a great cultivator of friendships. I still keep in contact with some others...jaybee, Calder, Karen58 and some others that I only remember by their "real" names now.
The convention did cause quite a commotion. I didn't get down town for the actual festivities. I did watch the speeches however and am becoming a fan of Sarah Palin.
I still have not found a job. I have decided to try my hand at an online business while I continue to seek employment.
My dad has made some progess with his cancer treatments. The chemo is taking it's toll but the cancer is shrinking for now.
I had a dream about the X Friday night which is odd in itself as that hasn't happened in ages. In the dream he was still with the OW and we had a chance to talk about what happened. It was sad and sort of had a "goodbye" tone to it. Another stepping stone in the healing process?
May the road rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face May the rains fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of his hand
