Samm...you kill me! You are so right. I am flying pretty high (no drugs or booze, I swear!) Living life to the fullest. So great to hear your voice and surprise me with your phone call at work.

Gotta keep my head on and get some work done. :-)

Happy Birthday! I am only on like page 8 of this novel, but I saw on the calendar that today is your bday and thought I would skip ahead to the end to see if you were getting your birthday congrats here. Thank you for documenting your story for all of us to read. I hope that the 40's are some of the best years of your life!

Lisa, Sweetie! Hope you have a fantastic day today. You deserve all the best and then some. Congrats on the new decade...I'm all ready over the next hill and more....my 40's were a wild ride, I hope yours are much tamer, or if they are a wild ride it's your choice!
