I do think of her *every* time I go
up or down the stairs.

So do I, so do I.

...to think of the times I would be working late and making a snack and
taking it on a plate in one hand, a mug of something in the other,
maybe a utensil clenched in my teeth.....down my office-stairs. I don't
do that any more.
Every time I see my kid flying down the stairs from her flat to the
main floor. no hand rails used.. no feet.. no problem. litterally
flying. I cringe.

That's good news. Hang in there.

For me, yesterday.
My sister wiggled her toes and my mother came out of her Alzheimer fog
just long enough to talk to my sister over the phone. First time since
my sister's accident. It really lifted both of their spirits up
immensely, although they both realize they'll never see each other again.

Dork happiness? Got a Leigh DVD in the mail today. Almost 1-1/2 hours
worth of drool, coming up.
Dork happiness #2? My daughter want a piece of my woodworking for her
wedding present.

I was just thinking the other day about how much time, energy, money,
etc we males spend over our lives chasing that. And then, if we catch
it, there's a lifetime of maintenance costs. If that's not the #1
happiness factor, then we're sure wired wrong.. I mean, any tool pales
in comparison.. you just have to pay once and then it dutifully serves
with no questions asked.

I would jump in with some question about tools, and one of those
every-guy-likes-it acts, and ask what guy in his right mind would trade the
satisfaction of owning a tool for that. But then I considered that some of
you guys have dust collectors...
