BTW, your blog is "officially banned in China." There's a chance that everything on Blogspot is blocked, but maybe at some point you've demonstrated some sympathy with the "splittist" Dalai Lama or you've demonstrated leftist sympathies that made the current Chinese government uncomfortable. Or maybe something in between. But in any case, it's a sign of distinction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26495977.post-1156094177879408752006-08-20T11:16:00.000-06:002006-08-20T11:16:00.000-06:00thanks to all three of you, all for support, to th...thanks to all three of you, all for support, to the first for sending off the cookies, the last two for working to get the book. i hope you're also going to look at it space...? as before, i think it will help if the whole family does. also, dearest Tossing, i talked to mom and i'm sending her the book, she's unaware of the Amazon.com or Powells.com universe, which is very simple to me to get arranged. she'll get it this week, then you can get your library copy back. <BR/><BR/>thanks, love, live now, -Mr. J<BR/><BR/>P.S.

And I will do it-- I will, just as soon as I finish this<BR/>comment.<BR/><BR/>Today was La Grande First Open House. It went Ok. But, it got me off task <BR/>a little because we couldn’t be at home for 4-5 hours. More importantly, <BR/>neither could our THREE dogs. So, sorry for the late comment.<BR/><BR/>We did do something unusual today. Not so unusual for regular folks, but for<BR/>us it was a reminder of a life we use to live. We actually went to a friends home for <BR/>a BAR B Q. We actually got out of the house, ate normal food at a reasonable time<BR/>and relaxed. We also participated in a Karaokee Contest, complete with a microphone<BR/>and the words dispalyed on a televsion screen. It was so much fun, low key, with great<BR/>conversation and nice, nice people.<BR/><BR/>No chaos, just sheer freedom and very empathetic people. I wish you and Frank<BR/>could have been here for it. You would have enjoyed yourselves.<BR/><BR/>I started reading Kuhl’s book last night. Very helpfful and informative. I’m glad you finally found a book that is benefical and educational. The big point so far--- learning to really listen. <BR/><BR/>I promise I’ll keep on everbody’s back until they get their own or I will just by one for them.<BR/><BR/>I’m sorry about the nausea an the fatigue. I hope you are feling a little relief <BR/>by the time this reaches you. In the words of our new friend (thanks to the Frank!!), Triumph, The Insult Comic-Dog, “I want to just take that nausea and fatigue and...POOP on it!!” <BR/><BR/><BR/>All of our love, BIG, BIG LOVE<BR/>slarry (and lefty)Slarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06718932691540222601noreply@blogger.com
