Today's Thought on Hiatus

I am off to Ames, Iowa this morning. Alexander, my first born, graduates
from Iowa State University as a Constructions Engineer. Christ, my little
boy is a College grad. How old am I again?

BTW, I had Rolex cremated with all his toys. I bought a German Urn (sp) and
put his ashes in it. The German urn is made in Korea. I thought it was
weird.

So, I will not be able to post, or read any posts for the next 3 days, as I
refuse to take my laptop to see my kids.

We'll talk again, my friends.

I have been kicking Camel's Ass for 11 Months, 6 Days, 4 hours and 53
minutes (341 days). But I don't know what happened to the $2,985.53 I saved
by not smoking 17,060 cigarettes. I have recovered 1 Month, 4 Weeks, 5 hours
and 40 minutes of my life.

Congratulations to your son for graduating college.im sure you are so proud
of him.Its nice that you will have Rolex's ashes as a keepsake.Have a nice
trip and we will see you when you get back.

That's so awesome that Alexander and Christ are both college graduates! You
must be incredibly proud, AZ!!

I'm glad you found a way to honor Rolex... have a wonderful healing weekend.
With hope and heart,

AZ, I'm in Colorado where my daughter just graduated college
(journalism)! My son (starting law school in the fall) came up to me
and said "how does it feel to have both of your children out of
college?" I said 'proud' - not 'old' but I was thinking OLD OLD
OLD!!!!

I'm so glad you get to see your kids. Take care. Stephanie
