So long oo long how long you gonna be gone?

I'm flying to Greece in a few hours. I'll be away from a computer for three weeks. When I return from Greece, I'll be back in England for just a couple of days before returning to the US and ordering myself a new computer set up, so expect that it might be a little while longer before I am back to full strength herein.

Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday to me, and to all those who celebrate their birthday today!

May the dance go on and on and on....

Last day

Tomorrow afternoon I am flying to Greece with my parents, so tonight is almost my last night in England for the foreseeable future. I will have two more nights when we return from Greece, but I already have plans with friends for at least one of those two. So anyway, I decided to call a few old friends and use the opportunity to chat with them. It turns out that none of them are home on a Sunday evening. And I suppose some of them might not even live at the numbers I have for them anymore. But I continue to live in hope. It is rumoured that one close friend may have recently gotten married, but as I have not yet heard from the presumably happy couple, I can neither confirm nor deny this information.

Tomorrow it is my birthday (cue flashing lights, bells and whistles). I love all birthdays, but particularly my own. I have been feeling a little flummoxed lately because I'm sort of led to believe that this is an important one, age-wise. I clearly recall my cousins teasing me upon my arrival at the big One Oh. And now it's twenty years later and I find it hard to believe how fast time slips by. I've spent the better part of the last decade celebrating my birthday in the USA, without my family handy to share it with. This year I have my parents, but not my husband. It's a funny old world. As it turns out, Clyde will be arriving in Greece the afternoon after us, so that's a pretty decent present in itself.

(Although I'd like some more, too, please.)
