Re: Everyone still above water?

Well Jim... I feel like I am living in Florida with this current trend of
weather.  I haven't had long pants on in months and it rains every day lately-
at least for a shower sometimes extreme storms.

Been busy with work and my
mothers party last weekend.  Seems I never have down time anymore. sigh.

It is
awfully quiet, but then it's been a summer of strife and calamity 
and idiocy,
not to mention the weather--and it's only mid-August. Maybe 
burn-out has set
in... I sorta feel that way, exhausted from trying to 
understand what is and
is not going on.
