hi all my adopted cyberdad has been feeling a bit down; several of his friends / fellow parkies have died recently leaving him feeling a bit like the 'oldest and loneliest kid on the block' but, heck, he hasn't even reached 80! at least not yet! and he and vivian have not been married anywhere near 57 years! at least not yet! i have always wanted to compile his messages to the pd listserv into a collection for others to enjoy and benefit from; as it happens, any of his messages to which i replied publicly (including a few private ones made public by yours truly) are gems, imho, and are destined to form a major recurring 'theme' in my "new voice" journal-transforming-into-book it's going to be big - six years of the most rewarding time of my life can't be edited down to a few pages even by this editor-from-hail! - and cyberdad's big heart as shines through his writing is going to be a big chunk glowing at the core his nickname is 'flash' for a very good reason for more info on him, go check out his website: <a href="http://www.geocities.com/doncyberdadmckinley/"> http://www.geocities.com/doncyberdadmckinley/ </a> i believe that NOthing happens by chance that EVERYthing comes to us for a specific learning experience or task so, 'cyber-flash-dad', in the accompanying post, there's a parky-pal for you - an older brother, so to speak ... never forget you are never alone with mush love sis (related to sis ulu?)
