Tumblina
A possible new nickname after my last tour...why you ask? Well, while adjusting the DVD player in a motorcoach, the coach had to suddenly stop and I was reminded of some physical laws...."a body in motion REMAINS in motion until acted upon by an outside force". Picture it...a motorcoach (bus) is traveling at 65 mph and a person (me) is in the aile near the front. The motorcoach hits SUDDEN traffic and stops...the person remains in motion until being acted up on by an outside force...namely the stairs, the trash can, and the console. Och....blue, but alive :). Then..there was the Jefferson Memorial...are you familar with it? Imagine a beautiful marble edifice with many stairs...(ah, there is the rub)....imagine me talking to my group and moving and...missing a step...oh no, falling....knee first, then back. What grace! Just a big knot and a bruise for that one. So, that was a SNAP SHOT my kids had this week. It was a good trip...a tiring one, but a good one. One more day tomorrow...and then off to Seattle for a few days.

Maybe "Tumbilina" will need to stick as your nickname in Africa!
Oh no, I forgot you read this thing! :)
Laugh. At least you get some great stories to tell, eh? No dull life here ...
I wish I could give you a hug....
I wish I could give you a hug....
See... I wanted to give you a hug so badly I had to say it twice.
Oh poor chicken! (Welsh term of affection)
Umm put ice on it and then hot stuff, take two aspirin and call me in the ..... well whenever really!
