WB Space.

Your life's plans sound cool. One thing, are there any spare life's plans cause I could sure use one. (a life that is....)

Please tell us you're kidding though. MCF isn't the same without our resident spaceman posting daily.

Take care. RJ

Space,

Please remember to take along plenty of sun tan lotion.

And don't bother bringing any of these things home with you.






Me, I'd run or you might get one of............. these.

Space sorry I got here late. Life's journey takes many twist and I am awaiting word on wether or not I am in the group of teachers to be laid off. I am so happy for you in this journey. The experience will teach you many great things. I know after my first and only trip abroad I appreciated everything I have a little more. Be safe stay and touch and our prayers are with you. The greatest achievement in life is dreaming big and then having to create new dreams becuase you already reached your old dreams.
