I'm not scheduling much of anything between now and then, though: My father is in the hospital and apparently has an aggressive form of lymphoma, so we're awaiting all sorts of test results to see what the next few months are going to be like.Mark R Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685591390353442531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-32493737834671428602013-08-03T10:55:56.599-04:002013-08-03T10:55:56.599-04:00William Shatner would like to have a word with you...William Shatner would like to have a word with you.

I love the way you make me smile. It's the tone, the lively voice,and the little twists my brain takes while I read. I want them to see that.<br /><br />Thanks for this great little snippet that addresses what we go through every other Wednesday at our group meetings! <br /><br />Looking forward to your visit in October--the 16th, right? --by the way, don't feel you have to wait til then to meet the group--we meet on Aug 14, 6:30, my house.
