Even a few hours can provide memories to last me forever. One woman was quite ill. She had been injured and the staff had given her a muscle relaxer. As it was taking effect, she was trying to eat her evening meal. I sat with her beacause she was very unstable. She had her plate filled with a hamburger, chips, and two pieces of cake. She took one the cakes off her plate and handed it to me on a napkin. She insisted I take it. That was the sweetest cake I have ever eaten.

I have an idea.
I have soaps and shampoos from various hotels and casinos I have visited (and those of friends who think they are funny, as wel).
Send me an private email, and I will send them if you need them.

A Perth man who was trapped inside the Superdome in New Orleans has told his father of the horror that went on inside.
Simon Wood, 26, is now in Miami, after fleeing the dome with several other Australians.
His father Peter Wood says his son feared he and his friends would be killed if they stayed in the arena.
"In front of their eyes, a young lad, Simon doesn't know whether he was a foreigner or what he was, was either forced, pushed or jumped for his life over a balcony inside the dome and fell to his death in front of these guys' eyes," he said.
Mr Wood says his son and a number of others fled from the Superdome because they believed that as foreigners, they would not survive.
"I think Simon was awake for something like 50 odds hours helping look after himself and his mates and he told me the other morning he's never been so fearful for his life, absolutely fearful."
Mr Wood spoke to Simon for the first time yesterday.
"We obviously didn't get a lot of time each to talk about a lot, but I tell you what, it's the best Father's Day present you could ever ever wish for," he said.
"I'm still a bit emotional about this but we've spoken to him since and he is safe, he's well away from the area now."
