what a bitter-sweet year....Loretta White was on my plane home to San Francisco yesterday...we were not sitting together but we talked about her late husband Darol when we touched down in S.F....I got my first points under Darol...you always remember your first time......as soon as I got into my car I turned the Raider game on...the announcer stated..."this is it..the Chiefs will either win it or lose it on this play"....the rest is history...forgot to mention in my post during the week about my long wonderful conversations with Christine Granger and Kathaleen Strong!...powerful, articulate, intelligent, strong, women..really wish these two were on the board...maybe next year....in twenty minutes its off to school, my class e-mailed me while I was in North Carolina!...life is pretty good after all....next adventure...Westminster...never been to New York.....FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
