Hippie, y’all just keep writing like that and no one will ever mind you lurking now and then; wonderful story and nice bracelet.
Pilot, hope you made your connection (or weren’t seriously delayed–if you’re going to the place I think you are, that is going to be a long walk). Everything I have heard about Costa Rica makes it a place I want to visit sometime.
Herald, sounds like Fluff is being well looked-after.
As for socks, my everyday black ones are piled in a heap in one drawer, my soccer socks are in the one below, along with a couple of white socks for the gym and some heavy duty gray socks I bought for the Antarctic trip quietly resting in the corner.
OK, been invited to a get-together for the soccer coaches from 2-5pm, have to make the toughest decision–when to arrive (I always arrive too early, so I’m trying to force myself to relax). Take care all.
