Tony and I were in bed and he was sound asleep.  I like to put my head

heart beat loud and clear THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP and his breathing ...

BlueBird ?   Or maybe Cheryle ?  Well, she sure remembers all of you !!!!!
I've got to admit that you are a pretty hard bunch of people to forget !!!!
And I mean that in a nice way in case anyone wonders.  (BTW, before you

I'm not even managing to lurk regularly these days due to various
pregnancy-related complaints which are too dull to bother itemising.

buy beer and wine (but no stronger alcoholic beverages), your parents
don't have a legal obligation to support you any more. Well, I think
I'll take care of Frank a little longer, but I suspect he won't be ...

Well, Dennis and I are back from our trip to Australia.  Got home very
