Hiya Michael!

-> 
-> Not so for me. I've never had a real retreat (the
-> childhood home wasn't particularly hospitable, with a
-> pair of parents who hated each other), except for a brief
-> period just over two years ago. Even when I had the house,
-> it wasn't really "home," though I didn't fly around much
-> mostly for green issues, which I've given up on.
->
I like having a spot that I can
retreat to and shut the world out
if I need to. Solace and solitude 
when I want it. I'd feel way to
disconnected to reality if I didn't 
have that.

Well, One I got from a train yard where
old antique trains were built and restored.
There was a brand of Steam Engine that 
was made by a company called Climax...so 
I have this great big button that has in 
BIG red letters....I LOVE A CLIMAX   
I used to wear it every day at work. along with 
one that said "I may be drunk, but your stupid,
tomorrow I'll be sober.....and sorry for you!!"
 
->  HN> Maybe I'll give em a go before Amanda 
->  HN> heads back south on Tuesday.
-> 
-> If you read this before you leave, say hi from me.
-> 
She left today and is presently on the road from
Davis to Bodega Bay.

->  HN> What I meant was did you have no 
->  HN> help at all, shredding the taters or onions?
->  HN> If not then that really does smack of 
->  HN> less than decent treatment.
-> 
-> No help at all, except for Mr. Cuisinart, but he
-> does a pretty good job. My hostess probably would have
-> helped, but she was busy; the party's hostess would not
-> have helped - she usually got one of her friends' kids
-> to do the task, as it turns out, but the kid now has
-> a real job, being over 21 and all - and would likely
-> have bolloxed up things royally if she had, as she
-> doesn't normally cook.
->
Well that just sucks stump water.
  
->  -> Nope, Karma ain't my thing.
->  HN> I knows you doesn't believe in em
->  HN> But I thinks you got some anyway.
->  
-> I've seen too many good people take it up the shorts
-> too many times to believe in Karma. If there's anything
-> that has anything to do with anything, it's being HAPpy,
-> but I figure that's mostly because such people don't
-> get into dangerous situations as often.
->
Yup I know you don't believe in it...doesn't
change my thoughts at all (grin)...so from me
you've earned some Karma points (grin).
 
Over the holidays (Anne's back has been
bothering her quite a bit) we laid pretty 
low and stayed home a lot...so one day 
we got some DVD's to watch...julie and julia,
was one of them....we all loved it! Meryl Streep
is like a chameleon, she really did a great job
of being "julia"! Amanda got all excited and 
we spent several days looking for Julia's first
book...and we were a couple of months behind
all the other folks who saw the movie...there 
were no copies to be found anywhere...well
if you don't count my bookshelf at least (grin)
chat with you soon!
