Thanks, Sira
Things got worse before they got better, but in retrospect you could call it fun.  It's a lot more fun after you've weathered the storm than when you're actually going through it.

Thank you, sam
Yesterday actually ended up quite well after a terrible start.  As for being a wonderful father or granddad, you'd have to check with my son and grandchildren about that.  I do try to be there for them.  It makes me feel pretty wonderful to do what little I can for them.

Oh yes!  Better to be able to laugh about it than to cry in frustration.  Sounds like you're going through quite a bit yourself.  It's good you can appreciate the little things.  Thank you for stopping by.  And thank you for the very kind words about my writing.

i hope in all of that frustration you gave yourself a chance to laugh at all the ridiculousness of the situation. glad you all made it through with phones and all.

i'm in south africa, currently experiencing brownouts and blackouts of dismaying proportions...all one can do is appreciate the little things.

have a happy valentine's, i find myself loving your writing.
