Good morning! Sun coming up, Michael's tail-lights heading down the road...

We are doing pretty darn well, giving that life is one of those things that always whoops around and gets you in the end.

What is one to do?

Paddle hard! and rest... ;-)

Today Ayla is up early and even as I write getting ready for her first day on her new job. We are very excited! Went out yesterday and did a wardrobe ritual celebration at the mall and boy, did we have tooo much fun! Hehe...

I don't work with her until tomorrow, as I am stretched between three counties.

You certainly wouldn't suspect given a definite lack of wispyness in my appearance!

Michael is getting toes wet in the internet, and appears to be enjoying his new-found abilities. Unfortunately, we now time-share this computer and my gmail, until he is set up on his own. But then, if he wants to access his, we have to be logging in and out ad nauseum.

So I am looking at laptops. I need one for my occasional wilderness forays, so I have someplace to dump my pictures.

Ayla could use one to go to school and get out of the house more.

And Michael could use it whenever he wants, because if one of us has the laptop, one of the two computers is obviously available.

So it would solve lots of problems, except the problem of money. Which is okay, because in my long and fruity life, I notice that money is like a roller coaster, ups and downs, lots of willy-nilly excitement but usually sort of ok in the end, somehow... whew!

So, off and away!

love you guys. Hey: keys to longevity I learned this morning: plant-based diet, keep moving, invest in family, friends and community... Increases chance of hitting 100 fourfold?

at least, that's what the guy said on the news this morning.

and we believe everything on the news that we want to...

bye! gotta keep moving...;-)
