I got my portfolio back this morning and I am HIGHLY QUALIFIED!!!! It is a relief to have that behind me. It is now vacation week and I am so glad. My grandchildren and daughter are still here. It is certainly different having very young children in the house again! Hope all is well with everyone. Happy Thoughts.

my birthday was nice! my younger son authorized me to be able to take him out to breakfast this weekend. it isn't like he is a snob that refuses to be seen with me, it is just the encouragement that he felt like giving that would lead to us both doing something we like. my other son gave me a memory stick for my laptop (many more megabytes in size than my brain has ever absorbed) and did not push the obvious point that, at my age, maybe i need some help with memory. he also gave me a stress relieving squishy thing which just pisses me off and i just want to sqeeze it till it pops and i can't stand the color and if i ever see it again i'm going to go nuts!!#$%^&*!@#@. . . just kidding. I actually am not feeling much stress, but i am a tactal guy that likes to squeeze things. you know, it was all fun!

the thing about 51 is that it doesn't have a ring. what rhymes with 51? "lifting tons", reminds me of my continuing responsibilities. "shifty sons" reminds me of why i am "lifting tons". hey, "nifty buns" rhymes and kind of works. i will have to tone up for summer. get the picture girls? yes we see (leader of the pack- what year was it written?) and- "oh, behave!" as austen powers would say.

Richard, hope your day was a good one. And many more. How was your weekend in Canada? Lori, the spa sounds so nice. Let us know how it goes. We had a hail storm last evening with hail the size of marbles here but bigger elsewhere. Today is much better. Gosh, having an Aug birthday I feel so much younger than all of you!!!! Haha!

Happy Birthday Richard !! Enjoy it.

The 50's feel to me much like the 40's and the 30's. I keep forgetting hold "old" I am. You know the saying. "You're as young as you ...................

I like birthdays....well, now that I am over the 50 one anyways. I've always shared my birthday, having a twin and my second daughter was born on my 24th birthday. Enjoy the day Richard and celebrate life!

Richard, I forgot to say--best wishes for a Happy Birthday and a happy life!!!!

No, mine hasn't come yet, Richard--it's on the 22nd. I'll be celebrating it a little early, though. My friend Irene wanted to do something for my birthday while my sister is here, so the 3 of us will be going to relax in the spas at Two Bunch Palms in Palm Springs on Friday. Not something I've done before. It's supposed to be relaxing, quiet, beautiful.... We'll see. Irene's really loud, so we're worried we'll get kicked out of the place. (They don't allow talking above a whisper!)

i am here to wish myself a happy birthday. lori, was your's recent?? and not a peep? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

No problem Lori ---Just checking

It's super windy and sort of cold but a friend and I are walking into town to go to an early supper. We're trying to get our 10,000 steps in. Some papers to correct tonight so we'll have to stay alert. No confusing beverages with supper.

the snow is almost gone and I'll be heading for Florida in a couple of days. Really looking forward to seeing everyone down there. Relaxing and warm, just what we all need.

No news yet on my new job but maybe by Friday before vacation starts. We'll see. Take care all. - Pat

Hi, just got back from a couple of days in Charleston, SC for the fun of it with my husband and daughter. Saw a plantation, took a carriage tour, did some mansions, the aquarium and a few restaurants ....... and a ghost walk (no ghosts to report). Also, ended our trip at a 50th b'day party in Seneca, SC for an old friend from Schenectady GE days. We also picked up my youngest son from the airport. He went back to visit friends in MI for springbreak. Keeping old friends can be difficult but definitely worth the effort. Gorgeous weather here and can't wait to get back at gardening this week. Sounds like everyone is having a busy spring with travel and family ........ enjoy!

Patti, I don't have an answer for that "is not around" question!

Thanks, Richard. Have fun in Montreal. I'm having fun now with my sister Amy--she's visiting from Israel for 10 days. So far we've sat on the beach twice. It was really windy, but still relaxing somehow.

i am going to montreal for the weekend, yahoo, with no kids, yahoo!! gerda is already there. hope the weather stays gorgeous like it is now. lori, the thing that strikes me about all that a person is or is not is that i know how much you adore avi and that is really special. that is very is. spending time with special people transports you to a place that is different from the place that you brought with you. that's the best and only special people can do that!

Happy Weekend Everybody.....my oldest daughter arrived last night as a surprise. She lives in NYC. She came up to visit with her sister and babies. Caleb is excited she brought her guitar. Well, hope all is well with all of you. Its suppose to be a beautiful spring day in Vermont. Happy Thoughts.

Lori how does is not around fit in to the Landmark profile?? ha ha

Wow, Richard, look what you did. You thought the blog was dying, and now you've got everyone writing books on it. I'll just make a short comment right now, though. I'm still involved in courses given by Landmark Forum that I mentioned a while back. Right now I'm in a Relationship Seminar that meets once a week for 10 weeks. Some of the stuff gets repetitive after a while, but basically I've gotten a lot out of these courses. The way they define love is accepting the person for who he is and who he is not. The "is not" part is what I'm working on now!

karen, i went through the same made for tv docu-drama that you did. you know, the reality show where you learn that there is a little a__hole in everyone (even you, even me) and you get to watch it all on tv. i was proud of myself after knowing for way too long that it was coming and proud that i did it the same year that i was supposed to.

a close friend of mine died a couple of weeks ago and her husband is blown away while also accepting the situtation, too. my reason for mentioning it is to say that they absolutely adored each other. both were/are brilliant and wonderful and both had/have MANY shortcomings. the husband once asked his sister-in-law if her heart stopped everytime his brother came into the room. she said, "on a good day." i know his heart stopped everytime my friend came into the room. that was just the way they were. i think it takes a special openness to intimacy and an intuitive awareness that trust is very sexy. one place where they had no shortcomings was in building each other's trust. i think that is maybe the most unselfish thing you can do.

Karen great that you have a doctor with a sense of humor. My portfolio got put on hold until their next meeting next week. I got an email saying I am very sorry...but we ran out of time...I was a little annoyed to say the least! If she hadn't told me it would be Monday I wouldn't have thought anything about it! Oh well...what's another week....I have until Jan 2006 to be Highly Qualified...My daughter and Grandbabies showed up by surprise this morning. They were suppose to have arrived tomorrow night and were leaving NC this morning. So when she called at 6:45 I asked if they had started out early and she said yes but look in the driveway...I thought she was going to say April Fools...but there they were waving from the car. Caleb who is 2 1/2 says Nana I in your driveway...and so the visit begins. Tomorrow my son-in-law will fly back and Neil was suppose to drive them back in 3 weeks...but he is hurting now waiting for a MRI to see if he has a herniated disc...probably job related..driving truck and lifting all these years and he has the ticket to fly back here. So hopefully, things aren't as bad with his back as it may seem right now. Always something ! But I get to hold my little granddaughter who is 3 months and play with Caleb. I am taking tomorrow off to do that!!! I could haved lied and called in sick but no I just said I have to play with the babies! Marriage is hard with any relationship. We all have our ups and downs but personally I wouldn't trade him in or want to break in another husband! But we all have to do what seems best for us. Ultimately, we all have to live with our choices one way or another. I look at my brothers family missing him and know that life is too short! Happy Thoughts.

Okay, my two cents. First off Kathi, good luck on your certification although I know you don't need it as you know what you are doing and I suspect, doing it very well. Pat, I am sorry to hear all that you are going through. I am sure you will weigh how badly you want to work versus your stress/happiness level. You can't put a price on your sanity and health, so don't let them make you feel backed into a corner. Maybe this an opportunity to look at what else you could do that would make you happy and fulfilled. On the subject of being alone and independent ..... its overrated. I have spent every move that we have made alone (with kids, animals and all else) for several months while Rich has gone on to start the new job. Each time I muddle through his "role" and mine and come to feel like I have regained my confidence and independence, then he comes home and innocently says the lawn should be mowed on an angle or something and all hell breaks loose! Bottom line is that it is great to have your own niche but sure nice to share the ups and downs with someone who knows you better than anyone else. A break once in awhile is a good thing and so is growing in a long term relationship. I hope you find the balance that works for you and Dave. Okay, Richard and Lori ....... anything you want to ask Dr. Karen? BTW, my polyp was a non issue ........ so once again, I am a perfect A_ _ hole! When I was at the office of the gastroenterologist I said that I thought it was funny that he shared the suite with the neurologist. He deadpanned me and said "it works out great and once in awhile we collaborate ........... when someone has their head up their A_ _!!!!" I loved it!

Thanks Richard, I remember the Pina Colada song well. It makes a very good point about communication in a relationship. I've talked a little bit about how I feel right now with Dave but it's hard to communicate well over the phone. At least I believe I have sent him the message that we have some work to do. Work worth doing I might add.

The up side on my new position is that the room this program will be housed in has a bathroom. Very exciting as teaching staff rarely get a chance to "hit the head" over the course of the day. The former teacher's lunch room is being converted into use for this In School Suspention Program. The glass is half full.

My bathroom project continues and some day will be complete I hope. I have 6 weeks to get it done but have gotten a bit off track as you might imagine. Electricians and plumbers have done their thing. Every project takes a lot longer once you get into it than you have originally hoped.

Thanks for all the good thoughts everyone!

hi patti, i'm sorry that you have a "please don't pick me" new assignment. i have survived a bunch of changes and i can tell you that there are still more good waves to ride that will be coming in. i'm sure that you have heard the worst. things tend to get better from here forward. as for changes in our relationships with mates, i think it is really difficult to be where we are right now. it's as if the balance that has served as the clockwork for 20+ years needs to get thrown away, we all need time to change some, and then see if it makes sense to be together as the older, more interesting people that we have become. i think people otherwise risk living parallel, minimally connected lives. anyway, i just know it is hard. i heard a funny old song tonight when i was working in the basement. it is about a guy that had tired of his mate and was reading the personals. he finds an interesting listing for a woman that likes many exotic things that are absent from his relationship and he makes the call. when they finally get together it turns out to be his mate who has tired as well and is ready for pina coladas etc. it's a catchy little number.

paraprofessionals are the new term for teachers aide's which became Education Technicians which become paraprofessionals. Here in Maine the Ed Techs who don't have at least a 2yr degree or bunches of college credits are taking a class and then an exam to become parafessionals. It's nonsense. All coming out of the whole No Child left Behind Plan. People who have been working for years and years are suddingly having to prove they know what they're doing.

Although I work as a Ed Tech I have the degree + so I don't have to worry about being a parapro.

Dave will be away another 6 weeks.

In school suspension is a program that is being created to keep students from being sent out of or away from school in situations where, based on their behavior it has been deemed necessary to keep them out of the classroom, from in fact being sent out of school. These students would be made to spend their time in "my" classroom where they would be responsible for whatever work would have taken place in the clasroom so that they are not behind. It also keeps that out of the mall and away from the TV. they are kept away from their peers. No socializing, lunch in the room etc. A sort of potentially negative way to spend my day dontcha think?

I am agreeing to this position with the proviso that if something else more appealing comes up I would be given first dibs. for th good of the district however I'm sure I won't be allowed to walk away from this once it's finalized. Trust me people are not in line saying pick me!

I am a Kindergarten Classroom Paraprofessional, which is another name for teachers aide. I am hoping that all goes well with the portfolio....we'll see. Patti, what grade level are you working with? Elementary? High School, where the kids are bigger then you???? When does your husband get back? Mine might have a ruptured disc...waiting to get a MRI done and go from there....My daughter and Grandbabies are coming Wednesday. I am so excited. My son-in-law is driving with them as far as Bradley Airport and flying back to work on their addition. Neil is suppose to drive back with them in 3 weeks and fly home on the 26th. I hope!!!!! This has been the plan for 2 months, we'll see! Anyways, weather is suppose to get in the 60s this week. I told my daughter to bring the southern sunshine home with her! Happy Thoughts to all.

Too bad about the job, Patti. Are you taking that other one? What's "in school suspension"? Detention?

Kathi, I'm not clear on what your job is. What exactly do you do at the school?

Well it's official. I've lost my position in the computer lab as of the end of this school year. Another person with seniority and who was displaced from her position has been put in place. I have been offered a job as the person in charge of in school suspension. Certainly sounds like an atmosphere I'd like to spend all day in.

Oh well.

Out of sight out of mind. HMMMMMM

Why is it that the weekends fly by???? Besides the point that we lost an hour. I have passed in my Portfolio. Because of the No Child Left Behind Act I have had to document my Knowledge as a Paraprofessional to become "Highly Qualified" at my job. (You must have an Associates Degree or be highly qualified). I know my ability at my job of 18 years but to put it down on paper to be judged by a committee is quite frightening. Luckily, they are meeting tomorrow and I'll know by Tuesday if I have shown proof of knowing how to be a skilled Para. I guess it'll be the satisfaction that I can prove I know my job not that it pays any different or changes anything other then having a little certificate. As of Jan. 8, 2006, our superintendent is following the "letter of the law" and terminating any employee that is not "highly qualified". Needless to say, can you imagine what will happen when one on one paras are done on that day...the teachers will go crazy! We'll see what happens... Opening up and sharing somethings are hard to do....go Karen! Anyways, I enjoy "listening" to all of you. Happy Thoughts!

That's beautiful, Patti--that we're your past and your present.

There are 2 of those sayings--"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and "Out of sight, out of mind." They're contradictory, and I've never been sure which one I believe more. Both seem to be true, sometimes one more than the other.

I don't believe the blog is dying. Merely quiet occassionally. Certainly there are fewer of us and yes, I think as always there are those who read but do not chime in. Whatever suits you I guess.
For me, as Lori knows, I've been in a very self centered place for a while now as I fight to keep my job at school and wonder about my marriage. You know that saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Not so much. At least not for me. The next seven weeks are going to be very trying while I wrap my head around the idea of being married with spouse again. I've felt like a single woman for quite a while now and have not enjoyed it. 4 months separation has not been good for Dave and I. Though the idea that I can just be the little woman again doesn't appeal. The job is changing because of displaced personnel with more seniority and better credencials than me. I have only taught in the computer lab for 4 years but it is where my passions is and I have been blessed with waking up excited to go to work. How many of us can honestly say that. I will work it out.

I always come back here to keep grounded. You guys are my past and my present. You remind me of the girl I once was and help me with the woman I am now.

So keep it coming folks. You have my heart.

It's happened a few times in the past that the blog almost died, and then someone managed to resuscitate it. I identified with what all of you said. Richard, you managed to put your finger on a problem I have, too--finding something interesting to say without exposing myself too much. I wouldn't have a problem saying certain things on a one-on-one basis, but it's harder for me to say those things in "public." I guess I'm still stuck in that high school mode, like Karen said, where I'm afraid of being judged or criticized. I'm always glad to see what others have written, no matter how short or long--and nothing's boring, Kathi. It's just nice to have that contact with all of you. When you describe the snow in Springfield, I feel like I'm there. For me, the question is not so much why the blog is dying down, but why we've managed to keep it going for so long. That's what amazes me. We must all be getting something out of it even if we're holding certain things back. I don't think it's politics we're missing here, but do we dare to raise the bar a little and move on to slightly deeper and more personal things? You don't have to say yes because I'm not sure I'm ready for that. Whatever anyone wants to write is fine with me. I think I've just gotten addicted to the blog. I feel like I have to check it every day. I don't always have something to say, but I like reading whatever is there. So keep writing even if it's just to say hi!

Karen, you're brave for having a colonoscopy. All I can handle at this point are pap smears and mammograms.

You know Richard, its funny that you wrote what you did because I had just been trying to analyze why the blog is dying out. I wondered if it was because no one really hits on those meatier issues, current events and politics and weighs in, but I am not sure that is what people are looking for here. And being that this is a high school site we may revert back to old habits and want everyone to like us, whether we are 18 or 50, so taking a stand feels risky. Maybe the common thread of SHS is not enough, but my kids say that I will talk to anyone .... always finding some poor innocent person in a grocery store or Lowes. I think there are a lot of members out there that read the blog but don't write and I wish that would change. I am like Kathi, I like to hear what people are doing and once in awhile feel the need to share something. Which brings me to my topic ......... colonoscopy!!! Yes, yours truly had the wonderful experience this past Friday. If you can get through the prep (which has improved considerably) the rest is forgotten. My nurse did fish around on my hand for five minutes to get a good vein though. So just wanted to tell everyone to get screened, its not that bad. See I did that without even making any butt jokes! By the way Richard, thanks for calling us beautiful ......... at 50 I will take that any time I can get it!! Blog on .......

I enjoy hearing about what everyone is doing. I know I am new here and often feel I don't have much to offer as there is really not much excitmement here in Springfield! I have connected with some old friends which is very nice. I just hope I don't bore people with what I write. Hopefully, everyone will continue to share their messages. Happy Thoughts.

So you know, this blog I am writing is not real light weight. We write lots of blogs that are and this one is not. I think it takes a kind of art and candor to write blogs that are engaging but not too much in terms of becoming over-exposed as the private people that we are. This is what I see when I look at our class of 72 bloggers. It is my statisitical analysis. Everyone that has written anything has been honest and great to hear from. The ones that have stayed tied in have a sense of life that is clear. If I had to define that, I would say that it is people that have an equal sense for the importance of pricacy and the awareness that privacy does not buy you much. It has been people that need a reference for where they are right now. In my case, I have needed about 10 reference points for where I am because I spend so much time being clueless about what and who I am. For this reason, I am the ideal blogger- the guy that totally appreciates hearing from old friends and classmates. We are so well trained to believe that we are a little too much "this" or a little too much "that". I know that I am "too much", but I figure that you guys know that too and that is where i like to jump in and tell you about what I am doing in "too-much" land. I don't know if you guys are going to keep blogging. Things have cooled down. In case you don't write again, I will tell you what has been precious to me. I feel like everyone, and particularly the ones that have blogged lately are beautiful people. It is a choice that we all have- to be beautiful. Thanks for the chance to be beautiful!

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it. It looks like rain here for our day but temps close to 70. Times sure have changed from when the kids woke early to Easter baskets, but I am grateful that five out of six of us are home.

There is always room for Happy Thoughts. Spring is finally here! We are not gardening...there are still piles of snow but the weather has been in the 40s with 50s for Easter Sunday. It has been a long time coming. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

it's probably safer for everybody if you two don't know the powers that you have! don't snap your fingers and definitely don't wiggle your noses. do have fun this weekend!

That's great, Richard! But, Karen, are you saying our well-wishing had no effect on anything? I wanted to believe we had a part in his success! Just kidding. I guess I have to admit I don't have that kind of power--but I'll keep pretending I do and wishing him well.

Congratulations Richard. I am sure it was the strength of your ideas and not the well wishing that came through for you. You will have to explain it to us more when things start to happen. Its going to be 70 here today and I will get out and walk and maybe put in some edging along my walk. My daughter had jury duty at the Atlanta court house about two weeks before Brian Nichols went on his rampage. I never thought of her as taking any risk when I dropped her off downtown near the courthouse. You just never know. We were on our way to FL that morning and saw lots of cop cars and helicopters. The news here was full of all the funerals and controversy over security last week. Very sad and senseless.

i made it through the first round for the federal grant that i am applying for. i will get instructions next week for how to prepare my final proposal. i think all of your crossed fingers and my rabbit's foot collection did the trick. i will let you know the next time i will be needing some mojo (may 1st). yahoo!!

I had company, a college friend, so didn't get to watch the VT/Mich State game. Too bad they lost. We are die hard UK fans so we still have a team to root for. One of my sons is at Wake Forest so that was a disappointment too. I love college basketball. The KY/Cincinnati game was fun for us because my son who goes to UC was watching it with us and we were cheering for UK and he was cheering for UC.

go cats go! i watched the last ten minutes and was amazed with the outcome. college ball is fun cuz you never know who is going to be psyched and great because of it. i don't usually care a lot about it, but as a chubby white boy, i liked this one.

Woo, Go Vermont!!! Wasn't that an exciting game! We had to chuckle at the chubby white boys jumping around like they had won the whole NCAA tournament! Now to see who they go up against ......... Have a good weekend!

We are all shoveled out from a foot of beautiful fluffy snow. The best thing about snow this time of year is that you know it won't last for months!! It was in the 40s today so it settled down a lot and is suppose to be nice all week. That should get rid of the bulk of it. We went out to make a snowman because our grandson wanted to see Papa in the snow. Thought about making snow angels but a. I didn't want to get wet! and b. I might have been stuck! lol. Hope all is well with everyone. Must be a very busy week. Take care and Happy Thoughts.

I don't let it get to me anymore, Richard. I send out poems, hope something will be accepted, but I don't get upset if they're rejected. I've had so many rejections by now that I hardly react now when the rejection letter comes in the mail. I immediately send the poems out somewhere else. Acceptance is a really subjective matter anyway. I can send the same group of poems to 10 different places and get rejected and then finally fall on an editor who likes one of the poems. So I don't take rejection to mean the poems are bad--just that that particular editor didn't find them suitable for his/her magazine.

wishes for luck are so nice to get. waiting for a decision to be made is really hard. lori, you must be feeling constant anticipation when you have poems submitted. how do you do it? i mean, how do you make it a positive part of your life? this is harder than taking care of small children.

Thanks, Kathi.

Our fingers are crossed, Richard!

Hi from Vermont....nasty weather here today. It started out in the 30s and rain and by 10am was snowing, windy, and cold. We now have at least 8 inches of new stuff with ice underneath with blowing winds and temps around 12. Wind chills are -20 something...oh well, only 2 more weeks until SPRING. Haha. Patti did you get your bathroom finished? Lori, exciting news about being published and Richard congratulations on getting your grant in. I'm sure good things are in the horizon. Happy Thoughts.

i submitted my pre-proposal for federal grant money today. i will find out if i am invited to make a final proposal on 3/24. keep your fingers crossed, please! maybe i will be a woodworker again someday.

Okay, Patti, I'll print out some poems and send them to you.

Lori, I 'd love it if you'd send something, I'll e-mail my address. I'm staying here alone. Colin is living around town but I see him most days.

Patti, my poems have been in various literary magazines. Some of those magazines can be found in bookstores and libraries, and some, I think, are only available by subscription. They're not like those mass circulation magazines that they sell at newsstands or supermarkets. Maybe it's easiest if I just mail you a few poems. I'm glad you had a good time with Dave. Are you alone at home or is one of your sons still at home with you?

Hey Kathi I'm glad to hear your brother's unit is safely returned. I look everyday for the e-mail that says my friend Will is on his way home. I know they are "waiting" to be shipped home anytime now.

Lori, I don't think I realized, you'd been published. Though I knew you were writing. That's really wonderful. Where can I find your writings? I'd love to see them.

Patti glad that you had a nice trip with your husband. Neil and I went to NC last week to see the Grandbabies. He hadn't seen Camille, she is 2 months. And Caleb is a charmer. It is hard being so far away from them. They are coming for 2 weeks in April. That'll be fun. We are expecting at least a foot of snow tonight and tomorrow. March is coming in like a lion...hopefully, it'll go out like a lamb...and there will be a Spring! I am ready. The daffodils were blooming in NC. My brothers National Guard Unit arrived back in Burlington on Monday, for which I am very thankful. Hopefully all the rest will be safely home soon. Hope all is well with everyone. Happy Thoughts.

Hi folks I'm back from my trip to DC and Baltimore area. DC was fun, we walked off our feet and saw almost every Smithsonian and lots of other things that we really enjoyed. Weather was wonderful.
Baltimore, not so much. 3 inches of snow sent everyone into a panic. sily, unprepared people. We did find the Peabody Bookstore and Cafe on Center Street not far from the Washington Monument in Baltimore but at 7:22 on Friday night they were closed. I was disappointed. But we did find it.
Nice to be back but I wish I could have brought Dave back with me.

I'm impressed that you remember that line, Richard! Yes, I'm still writing, and it's going well. No acceptances lately, but that doesn't stop me. I keep sending them out. The poem you referred to was accepted by The Comstock Review, and it finally came out last week. It 's always good to see it in print--at least it's out there somewhere and not stuck in my drawer. That's the poem that won "special merit" status in the competition run by that journal, so I feel good about that one. I'm going to try out another poetry writing group this week. It's smaller than the one I'm in and also on a higher level, I think. A friend of mine is in it, and she invited me to join. I have a lot of respect for her work, so I'm excited about trying this out. You sound a lot happier with your work now.

What's new with the rest of you out there? How are you all doing?

hi lori, i have been travelling for work and will be back on the road monday in roanoake, va. i have had to travel more than usual lately. it's okay, because the projects interest me. my woodworking grant proposal is due on friday and i am in pretty good shape for that. i really hope it gets funded because the people on my team are sooooo great!

i hope you are writing "with a drop of citrus tingling on the tongue." i love your work and insight.

Thanks Richard, I received the CD and hope to view it this w/e. Very busy right now with the critters, plants etc.

Richard, are you traveling for work or for your woodworking project?

i am off to cedar (not very) rapid, iowa. my big moment is likely to be either at a diner out on route 380 or possibly at duffy's car museum. yahoo!

Roland, got to shsalumni.com and click on the email and give them your updated information and that will do it.

Yes Lori, its ok to be "found" if you want to relay the info. I don't know how to get it done. I've tried. Thanks for the update.
