Thanks for the book suggestion. I'm definitely going to look into it. I love historical fiction especially when it comes to Asia.

Here's a little piece of Nostalgia for you Californians out there.

When I was a kid I'd see Cal Worthington's ad's on TV. It took me years to find out that I'd misheard the "Dog Spot " jingle. I thought that it kept repeating "Pussy Cow, Pussy Cow, Pussy Cow'' when actually it was "Go See Cal, Go See Cal, Go See Cal". From the looks of this ad, you can see why I'd make such a silly mistake as a kid!

It seems like there have been so many animals in my life lately that I've been living in a zoo (or at least a one man circus). Sometimes I wish I were. It would certainly be a refreshing change from the mundane life I've been living. I wonder if I'd be any good at the torch and knife juggling, unicycle, high-wire act over a pool filled with electric eels? Probably not, but what a way to go if I were to slip up! skull

*SIGH* I really could use a new hobby, maybe even meet a few new people...

Hmm, Pussy Cow. Sounds like a great name for a Punk Band.

Hey trouble! How are things going?? Pete and I have been busy trying to set up house but it is hard since my stuff isn't here yet and his is packed in such a way that half of it is garbage (when the movers say they pack everything....they mean EVERYTHING!)

Disneyland sucked Saturday It was so packed that we only went on 2 rides the whole day Other than that I have been very busy doing laundry because your brother seemed to think that packing dirty clothes was a good idea

Anyways - we miss you guys and will try to get out for a visit soon. Pete is really sick with a cold right now so it will probably be when he isn't a (pardon the pun) "pool" of disease and infection

Say hi to everyone and we will talk to you soon

For sure I will come out to visit (perhaps next week). I am STILL waiting on my furniture to get here (was suppose to be here yesterday) and now I am starting to get that pre-cold feeling thanks to your brother

I have been puttering around here doing mini projects so it isn't too bad here these days. I think I am also gonna go over and talk to someone at the Naval Hospital to see if I can do some volunteer work or somthing. Hope all is well in big bad Temecula and say hi to everyone for us

HA! Your comment made me giggle out loud I actually got a package from the USCG today with lots of infor on how to enlist - I can't wait!!!!

You can always put a smile on my face. I honestly didn't know it said go see Cal until I was a teenager...

Well to be honest I have seen better days I got too many answers today to questions I have been wanting to know the answers to but was too afraid the ask. Yes I know this is cryptic but all I ever seem to do is give you my sob stories and I feel bad about that....

I hope you are doing well. Tell me what has been going on in your world...
