Here i am at Minnesota, far away from family and my sweet little nephew (whom i absolutely adore) and what is the thought that hits me real strong at this time - it is only during these times that we get for ourselves that we really tend to unwind and think...i am happy about the opportunity considering that i have been around too many people the past few months...the weather out is cold, food (vegetarian) is hard to come by, the computer and the internet seem to be a rescue, a retreat into which we can enter to do what we wish to do...
