Morning Cereal


todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

for a good visit with my Mom ...
and that I kept my cool when I found out the hospital didn't inform me of a major event from 2 days ago

for a guest speaker at Lambda whose story I really identified with

that we slept in late (real late) yesterday morning -- something I NEVER do and what a treat it was!

that H's best friend is visiting

It was so hot in that room yesterday I could not stay awake. But I had heard his story before.

Wow! That quote is powerful. Thanks for sharing it, dAAve.

The quotation from Mr. Jones will be sent to a friend who was thinking of suicide this past weekend. Thanks.

Is the room really that hot at Lambda or is Scott having hot flashes? I need to know how to dress in case I'm ever in Houston for a meeting.

Dear dAAve,

Well, I bet the hospital people will not make that choice again-you should have gotten all over them! Good for you.

God Bless your Mother, I hope she is resting well and as happy as possible.

I love you Dave. Also, I'm glad you slept in for once AND enjoyed it ! Awesome.
