Sorry, kids. My son called. It’s the first time in almost a year that we’ve had a good talk - 1 hr and 15 minutes. I was waiting for UPS to come and pick up this part to send back, and the battery on my phone is so wonky that I didn’t dare take the incoming call while on with my son.

It was the local UPS office saying the “address was incomplete.” My akinbak! Plain as day, it’s on the package!!

Anyway, seems my son and I both have had a run of disappointments and discouragements in the last four months, so we commiserated. Sad to say, he’s no longer engaged, his house A/C went out, ($6000), the A/C on his Beemer is going (temperamental) and he just bought a “new” VW to “play” with.

I don’t feel so bad, now....

Anyway, I’m waiting for a callback from UPS and then I’m going to bed.

See you all tomorrow!

Yah, I've had days like that.

UPS, they're the union outfit, right?

We're completely A/C-less now with the failure in LoM's car (and I gather the youngest sionnsareen's). None in my car, none in the house -- but with the weather we've got, who needs it? I was thinking about closing up the house and turning on the heat a few days ago, but that was just my being ill.

Sorry about your son's engagement, but better now than later! (I think about the marriages from hell I could have wound up in, but those young ladies were always watching out for my best interests and left me available for the lovely and bright LoM! *\;-)

I count my blessings: Even the job with way too much travel -- this week I may have managed to sucker persuade a couple of co-workers to partake of some of same. *\>:^)
