Yeah, I remember when Mirage used to come around here...until that infamous cookie post, that is. She should have just saved her cookies, instead of tossing them around here. I sure miss her, that Mirage girl.

a tear for a friend
rolls down my cheek
not in pain
not in sadness
but in rejoice
that cannot be explained
to know the grace
the patience
the restraint
the growth
that has occured over the year
swells my heart with joy
pride
and knowing
hard things can be done
God bless you frances

Your friend
Dave

Ok...just got my 30 min workout in. 20 min bicycle intervals (look mom! no light!) and then 10 min abs.

Ready for April! (JK).

Wow...you are right. weather.com says its gonna be real severe here. Yikes! Tornadoes, large hail, severe storms, etc. I'd better batten the hatches! Are they calling that for you too?

I just finished lunch, made the grocery list, and balanced the checkbook. So, I'm full, we need groceries, but have no money for them! LOL. Given the weather, I'd better cough it up for bread, milk, and eggs. Why those are staples for bad weather, I'll never figure out.

Office is almost there! Down to caulk and paint. I've gotta get it done this weekend!

Hope everyone's having a fine day...

Happy March 1 everyone. This is our month. I dont know if it chose us or did we choose it. None the difference. We started our new journeys this time last year. Hiccups or not. This is when we said hey.....I am tired of this crap. It is time to start doing something about it. I could not have asked for a better group of people to change my life with. All of you are outstanding in your own way. Thank you for being you! Now lets rock on through this month and keep on keepin on.
Peace
Dave

Nope, just some rain for us tomorrow. The stormy stuff is to the south of us.
I know..bread, milk and eggs...I always think of that, too. I guess people crave french toast and strong bones when they're panicking about a weather catastrophe. I know I do.

I just got a free trial of Carbonite. It backs up your computer for ya, online. Sometimes I get nervous about all my pictures and music on here. I'd be so bummed if I lost them all. I think I'll feel better having that backup system.
