I landed 2 and a 1/2 hours ago and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY! Lady Tam and Elora are now snug in their naps after being so excited that DAA-DEEE is home. Tam had the Magaritas and green chili (you know you can get serious withdrawals from that stuff, eh?

) waiting at the restaurant. Called the plummer and received $5000 bucks out of the blue-from my insurance company!!!
Damm it's so good to be home after 2 and 1/2 weeks! My Mom's rememberance was yesterday-relatives and people I last saw, like, 40 years ago--there was even her friend the: US Ambassador to Portugal and my half-uncle the Iditerod Racer. My cousin Pam thought I was my older sister's husband. >I'm going to share the poem I wrote for her in The Hall of Gifts soon<
So look at the effect she's having on me: I'm writting again, working out every other day, have read 2 books in 2 weeks (I'm lucky, lately, if I read 4 in a year

), and am extremely happy and positive. My Dad is doing a little bit better than expected...everything is very hard for him-physically especially. But he was lifted by all the friends and family and me helping to take care of him while I was there.
Lore I love you man! Here Dave eat this cheesecake!

Be happy y'all, things could be worse...
