K: YOU WROTE:got all 10 of them in a huge group hug. i didn't want to let them go. It's a memory I'll cherish forever. That makes all the crap at work totally worth it.

In the 80s, I volunteered some time and taught in Kwang ju at an orphange. Having lived in an orphange myself, it was a way of giving something back. I don't know how enriching it was for the boys to have an American lawyer teach them, and care for and about them, but the love I walked away with, now some 20 years later, still carries me when the Dark Nights Of The Soul return.

Michael.

I didn't grow up in an orphanage, but my parents were less than involved. I loved it when my teachers cared about me and took the time to talk to me.

I can guarentee that those kids will never forget what you did with them.

And I do hang onto those thoughts when I start getting down.

Great big hugs to all of you!

There is nothing like having the inlaws to stay, they change your wallpaper, remove all you cookies, leave themselves logged in MSN and change all your internet settings before they go home.

It's very confusing. I just wished they'd remembered to clear the temporary internet files..the names of some of those gay porn websites are quite shocking.

Physics is for gurls!

The Big crunchers are blaming lots of things on Seti personel.
The Ageless is coming here to take some time off.
