... this for him. I bought it though, before I really understood the conversion, or what people were saying. So sadly I had to hold out the money and let the vendor just take it from my hand. I probably paid a million dollars for it…jeez.


A silver butterfly bracelet

Okay…so I was at the store trying to find a gift for my teachers. I bought them a pair of earrings each. I saw the bracelet and I tried to leave it, but it called to ...

... at the alarm sure was comforting though.

Now I'm off to Houston before my long flight to Tokyo. I can't believe I'm actually going to backpack SE Asia. Doesn't really seem real yet, nor has it fully hit me that I will be far outside my comfort zone. But thats what traveling is all about right?

... it was OK. better than a holiday inn, which I did have to stay at in Fresno once for the same client. The weather was nice, but I didn't really get to enjoy it much. nice room though. good times. I have nothing funny to say about this trip. It was short.

... t come up with the half a million it would require to buy a one bedroom condo in the city -- go figure? Anyway . . . I finally met Vicki, the woman my dad has been dating since April. What a sweetheart! I am so happy for my dad. My mother passed away from lung cancer over three years ago and he has not been able to bring himself to date until now. He seems to be very happy now. Retired, traveling and dating. : )
