This has been the wierdest summer so far, that I think I've seen in a lot of years. Where do I start, let me count the ways....
1. I found DS. This has been such a help - I can't begin to tell you. Thank you all, so much. The work & home & trying to balance the two, can make life unbarable at times, and without my friends here, it would have really gotten me down.
2. The work has been tremendous, both AT WORK and at home. Too much to do, & way too few hours and dollars to do it. So, some gets done, some waits in line. I'm just thankful I still have a job, and can support my family. Also, because I do have a job, I feel obligated to help out those that have lost theirs. I try to spend WHERE I can, donate WHAT I can, and help out WHEN I can. This makes the scheduling even tighter. ;-)
3. The weather. This has been the coolest summer ( and I mean that from a temperature standpoint ;-) that I can remember. We usually spend july sweltering in heat & humidity.
This year, we've yet to hit 90 degrees. Looks like tomorrow might be the first. Some mornings I wished I'd worn a jacket. But we're not complaining. Sunny & 75 is ALWAYS welcome. lol.
4. Digital TV. The geek in me knows it's a better technology, but as usual, everything in technology is a trade off. It's usually memory and speed, for size and dollars, etc. The new TV signals are sharper when you can get them, but the dish antenna must be focused more precisely. And storms have a much greater affect. But, we proceed. Soon, Dick Tracy's wrist communicator will be a 2" Fiber Optic TV. I can't WAIT!!!!!! HA!HA!HA!
Well, that's it for now. Thanks again for listening. See you all next week.

It is good to tally good things. I do it all the time to help me remember how far I have come and it is good to be thankful in general.
I am perfectly jealous about the weather though! It is hot hot hot hot hot here!
And it is so nice of you to help as much as you can. I wish I could help more.
Talk to you later.
