So should Ctesibius of Alexandria.

I'm sorry, abg. Friends sometimes come with pointy ears, a tail, and a purrbox. I hope your memories of happy times will comfort you in the next days.

ABG: sorry to hear about kitty. :(

On a cheerful note, I had a look at your bike in your avatar. How ever do you manage to ride a Penny Farthing bike such long distances ? ;)

Sorry to hear about the kitty, ABG. I'm always sad to hear of feline friends who must leave too soon. For small critters they sure leave such big holes in our lives.

Well, last Thursday I dropped my daughter off at Pacific University in Forest Grove. I was there an blue before her and her mother, but that's another story.

It was harder than I thought it would be. I've said goodbye to Erin any number of times, often for long periods, but somehow this was different. We set her up in the dorm and I made sure she had some speniding money and bought her books.

I said goodbye to my little girl. From now on, she's a grown woman with her own life, goals and plan. She's chosen a path and is agressively following it. From now on, I'm a spectator in her life.

I'm feeling old and alone.

You may have finished your journey of producing a self sufficient human-being but girls always need their dads.

I'm feeling old and alone. But that's overcome by the pride I feel. There's an incredible young woman out there who carries my name.
