daring, good for you, the boot camp! It sounds like you had a nice, GAL kind of day.
Also great to read you met with an old friend. Isn't it nice to chat with those who knew us long before we lost ourselves in this mess? (Temporary loss, of course. . )
Yeah....the patience thing. Why we can't go to the "peace" store and call it a day, I don't know. My guess is that if it was easy, we wouldn't learn from it. Pain has a way of getting our attention, doesn't it?
