Kelda:
fingers crossed your contact comes up trumps!
CellarDweller:
Card is in the mail, buddy!
Not sure if it will make in there by Christmas, but it's on the way!
underdown:
:)
Thanks Chuck.
Hey, I can't reciprocate, 'tho. :-\
Oh well, guess I can think of something else.
Have a great time in LA, mate.
Say G'day to everyone for me ?
I'm really sad that I can't join you, this time, but have plans to come over next year. :)
underdown:
Hmmmm.
I was on my way to the shower, and bed, but thought I'd pop in to BM to catch up on what has been happening,
in the 'recent posts':
Hmmm. There's a Brokie meet going on in LA. Not much reported in BM from there.
The rest are sadness.
I wish there were some happiness in here.
Just now, I really need sadness like a hole in the head.
My daughter is coming down to Sydney to see a U2 show that she has recently seen twice in Brisbane.
Her prognosis is not good, and I think she wants to see her favourite band as many times as she can, while she can.
She is keeping her spirits up really well, and is just so happy that U2 are on tour here.
I have a new client company that seems to be doing very well (the last one went broke on me), so all is good.
And Christmas is nearly here ! ;D 'Joy to the world', and all that kinda stuff. :)

Hey Rob, thanks for calling this morning. Sorry, I was knee-deep in SOS pads, cleaning house and couldn't get to the phone. I think it was my turn to call, so I'll try you tomorrow eve your time, my early morning, okay?
So, you wish there was some happiness in here, huh? Here ya go:
I've been quite happy and content, even fascinated, by life lately. During the night, we had our first snowfall here in St. Louis. I could smell it through my open window over my bed, and got up at 5 to look out, just like a little kid, and went outside in my slippers and sat on my porch swing and watched it fall to the ground, perfectly virgin and beautiful. Not a single sound or sign of life, except for the breeze making all the flakes twist and turn on their way down. It's moments like that, that are almost transcendent. They give me peace, and fill me up with joy in order to support me during the rare times that aren't quite so joyful.
Have been dating a lot lately. Men are an endless source of fascination for me. Of the 6 I'm dating regularly right now, they all have vastly different personalities, which makes it all the more interesting. Tonight I'm making dinner at my house for an old boyfriend that I haven't seen in 11 years. He's mid-divorce, and I was the first friend he wanted to see. He's a teacher, and a drummer/guitarist on the side. He's written 13 new songs recently, and wants to play them for me first, so I am quite flattered by both those facts. I'm sure it will be quite a blast from the past. Again, something else that gives me peace and joy... Old friends sitting on my couch, sipping wine, listening to music, holding hands, and smiling. My 13-year-old couch, god love it, has this magical power of making the rest of the world and all the bad stuff, disappear. I wish I could figure out how to clone it; I'd make a million:)
Is that enough happiness to tide you over for now, cause I could go on and on...
I'm sorry to hear your daughter is ill, apparently very ill. I'm also sorry that I don't know what she is suffering from. Can you enlighten those of us here who don't know please, if it's not too painful?
Take care of yourself, Rob. Talk to you tomorrow, mate.
