Hi there --

 

Found y'all again.  And what is UP with that Multiply thing?  There's a banner here upon entering that says MSN Groups is leaving in Feb. for Multiply.  Then I read, in Multiply, not to pay attention to that. 

 

(Channeling Bill Cosby's voice ...) Tis my nature to be confused.  I don't mean to be confused.  But I get confused easily, it seems...

 

Ahem.  I yam in Oregon. Again. But probably not for long.  It just occurred to me a couple of days ago:  I am, for all intents and purposes, homeless.  Yarg!! Very unsettling.  Each day my brain halves fight with each other: Calif? Oregon? Calif? Oregon?  Both places have plusses. 

 

Currently, I sit in one of only two wi-fi cafes in the area, which is 30 miles east of Salem, OR.  Salem people refer to this area -some of them, anyway -- as "Deliverance country."  I spent 55 years in San Francisco, so it's one hell of a transition.  Maybe one I cannot make, in truth.  Could be this old gal is simply unable to 'do' Oregon.  But the old gal better decide PDQ.

 

Otherwise, I toddle about.  Doing job apps; writing to my baby son in Ft. Benning, which little rascal is doing exceedingly well.  Most recent, he became a squad leader, in chg of 13 guys -- who he says are mostly "sharp as a bag of marbles, Mom.."  I replied, "O my, dear!  you have to made a passle of young people obey rules?!  Get up and do what they gotta on time?! Horrors!"  He writes back: "Yeah yeah, Ma..."

 

Po' baby.

 

The other 3 kids have their own drama, too lengthy to write here, and, frankly, I don't wanna even think about that stuff right now. 

 

Hope all are (relatively) well -- I will check back as I can; finding an internet hook up out here ain't easy.
