But on Friday and Saturday, the sun shinned and the temperatures on both days rose to the mid 70s (as did yours on Saturday according to the weather report). I'm hanging in here. I have to focus and get some major work done soon. Because of economic necessity, I have caved and agreed to teach classes this summer, but some of the classes are online, so this will save me time from commuting.M.L.

(laughing) Rain would be nice....maybe you can send that 70 degrees down here while you're making moves with your trekking poles.<BR/><BR/>Trekking poles? (lips turned up) Mmm hmm.<BR/><BR/>Funny....in Michigan they call furloughs firings. <BR/><BR/>KEEP FIGHTING. We need you as a guide, example, recorder and interpreter. <BR/><BR/><BR/>The shrinking economy is a trip. The good thing that's come of it is that people sure do appreciate a GIFT these days! <BR/><BR/>My friends think that this is just another step in the plan that is Trilateral Commisionesque...<BR/><BR/>condense the economy and the big hands grab more lands and slowly place the world in a global police state.<BR/><BR/>Where are my Moroccan Moccasins? (smile)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Isn't there a Simms novel out there somewhere?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>I recently got to chill with some elder brothers from Ann Arbor who remember the height of the black business and residental districts that I saw fading when I was a kid. <BR/><BR/>Those memories they share are so precious and it reminds me that a monument serves as tribute to voices and voiceless of the past who walked the routes I now benefit from.<BR/><BR/>Moments with those brothers and the duck that was fascinated with our rap session were pure tranquility.<BR/><BR/>We changed the holiday to "peacester".
