Thanks for the computer thoughts. I am still torn... Doing my weekly check on e-mail from my neighbor's computer tonight... Spent last week in Florida (Ft. Lauderdale) for a conference. Pretty nasty weather with TS Faye hitting shortly after we got there (they didn't cancel the conference). Off to see Mom next weekend in Texas for a week, back the 6th of Sept. My niece is starting Kindergarten Monday, so she'll have a week of school under her belt to tell me all about.



I had a profound thought (at least for me) last Monday. I realized she had one last week of total freedom to enjoy for the next 60 or so years. Starting this upcoming Monday, she'd be either learning or earning continually until she retired. Homework and suspenses are about to start for her, LOL... I don't think she appreciated the week as fully as she could have, with that in mind...



Pookey is doing well. Hate to have two back-to-back trips like this, I've never done it in all these years, but he seems to be doing just fine after this first one... (Conference wasn't a full week, just 4 days).



He turned 17 last week (a best guess as I don't know his exact age; adopted he and Stanley in August 1992 at "a year old" per the SPCA and vet. Next week is one year since losing Stanley. Still tough, but Pookey is much better and pretty much fully adjusted these past 4 or 5 months. His last vet check-up two months ago show he is very healthy for his age -- no common senior aliments showing up yet...
