Haw! Hey, Sierra's not bad and they always have that.

My friends and I have brewed an obscene amount of beer recently. We've got three beers on tap with a backup keg and two batches brewing. I'm glad it isn't at my house. If I weren't Stanley the Swimmer I'd have broken 200 by now.

If any swimmers are reading... did you ever suddenly lose your ability to turn? I did. I can't level off! I either go straight to the bottom (undershoot) or come bobbing out the top (overshoot). And the more I practice and think about it the worse it gets.

2long I hope you don't see my poster. It's a train wreck. A victim of committee thinking.

Faithful,
You still there?

Wow, has it been that long? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

GC, JL:

Looks like I'll be going up only for Wednesday and Thursday next week, so beer will have 2 happen on Wednesday night.

Flying home Thursday night.

Heck, I don't even know if I have a room yet! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Faithful, did you do an account of your trip, and I missed, it, or did the trip fall through, or ???

You may not realize (says SS with his best teasing voice) that people really are interested.

And while we've got you here, tell me how you are. Not the "Fine, and how are you?" version.
I really want to know.

SS, I'm glad I sound well. I've fooled you all then. When I'm down I write long rambling posts that I never submit. Whatever works.

2long, my session is Tuesday but I'm there all week. I'll avoid big commitments on Wednesday and email my cell # and with luck it'll pan out.

I want you guys to know I am jealous. I wish I could bring my rocks to the geology party.

Drink me a beer, at least.

I wonder what's wrong Gray. Probably you are ready to love again, and feeling the lonliness of the season.

Quote
Figure out what the daemons are?


Not really, but this is what I've gotten so far:

Servants have dog daemons -

Animals don't have daemons -

Daemons are able to change form until their person reaches puberty, and then they take a permanent form based on the character/essense of the person -

Children die without their daemon, but adults become walking zombies when severed and so does the daemon -

Witch's daemons can travel far away from their witch, but ordinary people's daemon must stay within a few feet of the person -

I thought it was their spirit, but that doesn't explain enough.

Finished it last night, but was not happy with the ending...too sad about little Roger. Looking forward to reading the next one though.

I wish I could walk into the Northern Lights and enter another universe.

We still see the Northern Lights around here after a solar storm, or do you mean I am just too old now? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

No, only that with the help of a tour-guide like Timothy Leary at that time, you could go anywhere you wanted.

besides, I've got ailments older than you!

Oh SS! I am so sorry. I posted it in Idiotville and forgot to post it here.

Here are the pics:

of DD's dolphin experience. She had the best time and the sheer joy on her face is priceless. We had a lovely time. My H now admits we CAN do this family vacation thing without too much hassle. DS started not feeling well toward the end. Turned out he was coming down with chicken pox. Tuesday night he broke out. He is fine now.

All in all, we loved it.

It looks like she is having so much fun. I have a DD who would like to do that.

I'm glad this vacation was a good experience for you. I want to encourage you to start planning for next year. I get so excited when people have good times - when it had been pretty bad only a year before.

Now, I want to see you do a couple only trip. I know that will be difficult, but I want to see it.

I think we're doing the inside passage to Alaska (cruise) next summer for our 30th. You should start looking for what YOU are going to do.

I think it's about time.

BTW, I realize all the reasons it will be difficult. It's still worth it.

Thanks for re-posting your pics. I am so happy for you guys.

Hi Weaver !!!
SS waves even harder !!!

I saw the northern lights often when I lived in Canada. Only seen them one time where I live now, but it was quite something.

Give P a drum set, or trumpet, drum set, or trumpet. I just can't decide. Maybe both?

Ha !!
I've got it. Two drum sets, then she can have a friend over to play with her.

Is it cold yet Weaver?

I know Gray knows about cold, but I don't think 2long even knows what the word means. He lives where you can grow citrus trees.

Gray, You have been so quiet lately, that almost anything from you sounds good.

Are these down days any thing that you can talk about?

Do the good days in between make up for the down? Or are there too many down ones?

How is C4Love doing? I was thinking about her mother the other day, and wondering how come we haven't heard from her in a while. Her mom stayed with us for a week or so a while back.

Just kind of thinking and typing. I should probably get back to work.

Hi J.
Buy yourself a lightening rod - that should help.

My W did the Alaska cruise with her mom and sisters two years ago. They had a blast. When she came home she said "it was fun, but I just kept wishing you were there with me."

Lets see, I got married when I was 21, and this march will be 30 years, so that means..............

Yep, I'm that old. It doesn't seem like I'm that much older from year to year, but I noticed when I got bucked off a horse that it hurt more than it did when I was 17. LOL.

At least the horse didn't kick me.

I read what I wrote again, and It was kind of vague. I didn't mean your 30th was coming up fast, I meant you need to go on a trip with just you and your H. You probably understood, but I wanted to make sure.
4 days is good. A week is better. Last March we did 10 days, and it seemed like heaven. Highly recommended.

We can send info on the cruise we are doing if you're interested. It's not that much money as cruises go. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I understood. Yes, we have some challenges to pull that off but it may not be impossible. I like the idea of planning our next family trip.

You probably know by now that I like doing things with my family. Some years it's not far, and not expensive, but we always have fun.

When our married children come by, they often ask "Are we doing to Whitney Pockets again in March?" Or "What's the next campout we are doing, and when?"

It's nice that they ask - you can guess what it means to them.

That's what you can create for your children.

I think Husband, and Wife time is just as important.
The good replaces the bad. It seems to make all the difference.



Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine

Quiet thoughts come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories,
Sweet memories

Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine,
Memories, memories, sweet memories



I believe you'll do it if you can.
