I believe a blog is considered to be more of a journal than a diary.
Thank you 111op , this is an enjoyable read.

Thank You for the offer but forget it. The NYT article is there but they want $2.95 for the on-line copy to read. Phooey!

I hate that when it happens. Usually I'm stubborn and I keep looking for a free version archived by some random person on the net -- but I can't seem to find one for this article.

A friend has suggested the solution of e-mailing oneself the electronic version of the article while it's still free. I think that I'll have to try this approach from now on. It cuts down on paper. This should work well as e-mail accounts have such large storages now.

"we have to scurry home for our sons homecoming, he has been in Japan for the last 5 years, and we have not seen him in one year...waaay too long for this mama!"

Scarlett,
How wonderful that you're going to get to see your son after a year... as the mother of 3 sons, I can imagine how excited you are to see him. One of our sons lives in Nasvhille -- a 9 and a half hour drive, which isn't too bad -- but another lived in Arizona for 5 years. We only only saw him a couple of times a year, as we live in Illinois. I'm so thankful that he and his wife moved back to Illinois, especially since we now have a grandbaby to visit too
