3. Me too
some days I'm fine. Today's tough. Lelapin's in Chicago with ZombieNixon and the weekend's coming up. I miss laughing and teasing my two sisters. The one in the UK can make me laugh 'til I cry. Not an easy thing to do.

15. I think the physical separation
is a something we people will figure out someday. It's these damn bodies that keep us in one place or the other.

20. I agree
you can't exist in a vacuum, we need the people we love around us. We've lost so much with everyone scattered to the 4 corners. :(

7. Right now it's more of a "what"
My youth, my freedom, my athleticism. I'm just kind of in a rut. Restless. Happens every year around this time. :shrug:

And I agree, youth is wasted on the young. :hug:

Hope you don't spend too much time in that rut.

14. Definitely my mom.
I ran into the grocery store this morning to pick up a few items, and the bus from the senior home was there. I think senior citizens are the most adorable people on earth, and I couldn't help but think of Mom, watching them all cruising up and down the aisles.

If she were still here, she would be turning 80 this year. My mom was a lot of fun, and a good Democrat. She couldn't stand Blivet.

31. I see my cousin the most


...he works for KLM so he flies cheap. My Uncle will be here this fall, he works for SAS so he flies cheap. Last time I was there was a year ago, but I may take my daughter and go next summer....it's been a few since she's been there.

And you are right, it's never often enough.
