Shelly--there's nothing worse than an uncooperative computer, especially at 10 pm!  Glad Thursday was good.  Great to hear that the visitor from China made it (some of us knew but weren't saying anything in case he couldn't get there.) 

Craig, sounds like you are definitely taking our advice and moving 3 steps forward and 0 steps back.  Work the plan, buddy, you're doing great.

Well, since Peat is out for a couple of days, I figured I'd better take up the slack.  So I have a redneck photo submitted by Carol (I guess she didn't want to be tagged as a redneck, so she lets me have all the fun )

You might be a redneck...

And now for the mushy side.  This talks about girls and hanging together, but I think, like Peat's rain story, it can apply to Craig's Army and the virtual hand-holding we've all been doing.  Holding Craig, Shelly and Emily up, but also holding on to each other because we all need support, every day.  And through this blog and the humor, the brain teasers, the pictures, the prayers and the sentimental well wishes, we all are stronger and better able to deal with the issues in our own lives.  Let's all hold hands and move forward.

Love, deb
