Well I'm back!

....after a month of pure bliss, we had to cut our escape from reality short, due to a serious family illness. So I'm bummed on a few levels.

So how are all of you? Any crucial wig/Gross updates to cheer me up? :)

ETA: The hell? Michael Jackson died?!

You really were gone, were you? Yes, he died last week among others. There were quite some deaths:(

Oh yes, we haven't heard a thing for weeks. Living under the veritable rock. We only heard about the family member due to a phone number we left in case of emergency, and that didn't include Michael Jackson for some reason (what happened there?). I better go and listen to Billie Jean....I presume that this was an enormous, huge news story? Can't imagine it was a couple of articles. Who else died? [This is getting more depressing].

Huge news, indeed. It's kind of sad, though. People like him just can't die of natural cause - something must be to it.

Now they fight over the kids, the money. I'm sure this will go on for some time to come.

Farrah Fawcett died as well, and Karl Malden.

Oh for sure, just reading about the death now - heart attack? drugs? All sounds sadly typical.

Farrah Fawcett was ill from what I remember. That's also a shame, and Karl Malden!! Just also seen that two of my favourite actors are getting divorced as well. I think I'll go back into the woodlands, it's a happier place :)

More importantly, how have you been?

I'm well. Some bad days at work but that's summer season in the hotel business.

I still don't have my visa either. They say it may take up to 103 days or more - perfect! No 4th of July in the States of me then:)

Oh no! I thought they had granted it. They haven't sent the actual thing? Maybe Sarah Palin has taken a dislike to you and has recommended that you can't cross the border until she is out of office? :)

It's granted. At least, I think so:) but I don't have the paper yet. It's summer season all that Government people are on vacation and, of course, there only working two people in the whole department anyway:) - I'm stranded in Canada; I can't leave even if I wanted to.
