**squeak....as the door opens**
Hello??? Anyone home??
Yes, I know the bar is closed but I let myself in because...well...today was such a bad day that I really need a drink and some comfort food. How could so many things go wrong in such a short time?? Oh well, no sense in complaining. Right now I need to focus on prayers for Steve and Laurie.

****places ice in glass and pours a huge double BM****

Mario and Lady, any chance you could sit down on the couch with me?? Ahhh, the fire feels good. Funny how in cyber, the fire is always lit.

I miss Possum and Trevor and also Richard. I wonder how they are doing?? No Lady, this drink is not for you. Hang on while I freshen up that water bowl. That's better. Now, let me switch the big screen TV to American Idol. Until next week folks. Cheers!!!
