This 9 hour difference is a killer!!! Thank you all, my friends, for the wonderful birthday wishes!! Speed...I came home on the 25th of Dec and my sister, who is only 15 months older than me, thought I was her Christmas gift...a doll...needless to say, I got carried around, fingers poked in my eyes and harrassed by her (still am!!)

I miss you all very much and will return on the 1st...so get ready because I'm going to have a post birthday bash. Figure if I've made it this long, I might as well celebrate!!

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
