Maybe is time to start training for the next
tri-athalon.
Considering the alternative: be glad that ya can
notice not feeling ""IT"", and wish that ""IT""
was in your awareness.
Speedy improvements.
So I got reveiwed at work yesterday.
All perfect scores with client care and relationships with my clients and the hospital as well.
Then I got a very low score in my attitude with co-workers.
Cried myself to sleep.
I love that picture! There is so much going on around them and they still are able to smile and make faces at you! I proud of you for going to Haiti, every time I saw some thing about Haiti I thought I have a friend who is there helping right now.
On a completely unrelated note I am going to a bike show tonight to see if I can find a good deal on a bike to use in duathlon's.
I met a mama there named Ivrose.
Ivrose was from Port Au Prince. Her husband died in the earthquake. She lost everything material in her life. Her and her baby survived. When I met Ivrose her baby was in the hospital.

It does seem as if Uncle Sam has it in for the Hatians.
Following the roadblocks that an Aid ship is having to
go through to get there.
1- a private pleasure boat with volunteer crew is held up
until they can get a licensed captain, a retired fellow from Maine
volunteeres.
2- Customs wants an invetory & declared value and TAXES on the donated goods.

Be strong, because alot of what you will see and be unable to affect
will break your heart. All of my best to you and your crew.
