Hi everyone...as far as I can figure I haven't logged on since November 08, but I still see a lot of familiar names. My life has been absorbed with getting my Master's degree (plus working full time, etc.), but I finally graduated May 2. My summer goal is now to read books that are not text books! I spent a week at the beach after graduation, and then Memorial Weekend at another beach. It's great not to be in school. I must say that I don't think I would have gone back to school had I not quit smoking. When I smoked, I used to just sit a lot. Now I stay busy all the time.

Love you all!

Rusty

Hi all. I'm having a great summer, reading books, little trips. I went to Atlanta 4th of July to see my 84-year-old aunt. Went to Sea World this past weekend for my X0th birthday. Erghh, tomorrow is back to work, but all is well...I can breathe, I can walk, I have so much to be grateful for.
