Ohhh...I just received a cool email from the Ironman WA volunteer Co-ordinator...discounts on merchandise..I'm excited about next weekend!! Not just for the merchandise(I get a cool Ironman volunteer shirt anyways..) but for the atmosphere.

I see a few funky chrissie pressies for some of our Ironman ladies....

I promise to take photos & give you a report. Keeping my fingers crossed for nice weather next weekend down in bussleton.

I did a "donation release" today. A local resident...111 years old...the nations oldest WW1 veteran. I had read about it. Gov. Busch had given him a certificate last month. He was in the same "trailer" since 1960, he was so cute...and I thought, so alone. I called the funeral director and asked if he thought they might like a dove release. I had been at that cemetary several times. I brought 12 birds. Ended up that the relatives kept coming up wanting to release a bird. I originally asked "would a family member like to release the single white bird, representing the soul?" They all wanted to. I reached in and got a bird for each one. It really was very moving. There wasn't one of them with a dry eye. Most of them kissed the bird. I was amazed at the media there. Have already received some pictures (via email) from The Observer. Watched Fox news and I WAS ON IT!!!! If any of you in Fl get it, I bet it will be on later tonight. FOX news. The family thanked me so many times. The funeral director thanked me several times. Man, do I feel good. Thought I would share. God, I love what I do. Someday, I might even make money doing it!!! In the mean time, you can't put a price on how it makes me feel.

Nanci, how sweet! Thanks for sharing it. Where does your friend get the birds they release? I love the idea of releasing a bird representing the soul. L.

She raises them. They are pure white homing pigeons.

Very cool Nanci! What a wonderful thing to do.

I had the please of meeting an 85 year old pilot yesterday. Flew in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I could have sat and listened to him all night....

CWR - sorry to hear the feet are still giving you grief. I hope you're able to get them taken care of soon.

KG - congrats on the new size! That's a great feeling indeed.

OTG - hope you had a great ride. Great job on keeping the eating under control for TG. I wish I were more like you.

So my 'puters been down for a few days. Had a friend look at it and peoplepc had me pointing to a server that's broken. He's got a temp fix for me hear so I can chat with you guys.

I finally got my SS gift all wrapped and I'll be heading to the PO shortly. I think one of my doggies has a bladder infection and the vets office is closed - any ideas what to do to help her for the weekend?
