hiya all,<BR>
<BR>
my muse seems to be sleeping lately, or maybe her calling is just drowned out by the din of unpleasantness...who knows...i'm having a tough time writing though<BR>
<BR>
my dad is in pretty stable condition...he's going through therapy and doing his best to regain movement in his legs...nobody is sure what kind of recovery to expect yet...it's slow progress...but at least it's progress...i've been freaking out regularly and silently about the whole thing...but all in all, i'm ok...not the happiest fish in the tank, but...there should be a but there...but hopeful...or something...<BR>
<BR>
anyway, thanks everybody...<BR>

      Deevaa Day ONE:<BR>
<BR>
      Hey gang----<BR>
<BR>
                  Dee is eating a croissant in my dining room at 5:25 am....we drinking coffee...or as Shady might say CAWFEE...worst trsffic jam in history to fetch her from airport---but amazing timing after being stuck in a slow moving line from hell...She walked through the gate three minutes after we got there...<BR>
<BR>
                  Desi loves her...the ferrets kept her awake all night...and AOL must have an alien detector because it won't let her stay on line...<BR>
<BR>
                  This is amazing...
