Great weather and exciting plans for the future...why worry about these dregs of society taking our hard earned tax money?
So I decided to take a positive view and give thanks for still having the good fortune to have some wonderful friends around who have struggled with health problems. I'm speaking about Don and Alan. And we have felt so blessed to have been able to share Ireland and the south of France with them and their wives, Elaine and Susan. Friendship and good times...it's what it's all about and to hell with the rest of the foolishness in this world.
We'll soon be heading to England and Spain and have some wonderful experiences to look forward to. We'll be seeing old friends like Susan, Katey and David, David and Barbara, Philip and Sonya, Bernfried...and meeting lots of new people that I'm sure will become friends too. I already feel very close to Jesuias in Spain and have loved corresponding on email with him. He's the fellow Jim may do this teaching exchange with.
