::all good things MUST end?::

mom & dad left today. they have been in town since the week before christmas and it is sad to see them go. there has been a certain amount of unexpected family drama, which is frustrating. i don't feel up to going into more detail than that. plus, this site gets a certain level of publicity (ha ha ha) and i need to focus on creating goodwill towards men rather than creating new enemies for expressing my feelings online. besides, i'm trying to remain outside the fray, and i aim to stay true to other's privacy & feelings.

it's that time of year again: time to figure out when & where we'll take our vacation this year. after some much needed rest, i will cruise the internet for the best deals on some of our choice destinations. we'll see what turns up....

i am exhausted from this cold, and will leave my reader(s) at that ;)
