George,

  I sure miss "The Far Side".

  They weren't at church this morning, so we either missed each other, or
they didn't make it (I hope they weren't out sick). I'll be going to the
pharmacy to get some prescriptions tomorrow (after the freezing fog burns
off), and to the Post Office, then to the restaurant where they work, and
to get a good lunch (double grilled chicken steak and unlimited french
fries).

  Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on every so often. I have been one to
so many over the years, but for the longest time, I haven't had one for
myself.

  I saved the life of our shuttle bus driver at a square dance event 25

  Sadly, most thing all love is eros.
