You know what Bear? I had a relative die and I couldn't bring it on myself to take her name off my email list. I made her a folder and put her name in there so I wouldn't have to delete her.

My dad just died and it is odd to have him around in cyber form. I think I will find it comforting after some time.

Something else for me to follow -up on.

Kappy,
I was just thinking about Rashid today too! Where are you Rashid?? It's so unlike him to be gone this long.
