Bad News, Good News
Hey.
Something has to be done about this stupid "fickle finger of fate" business. I don't mind being a victim myself, as I'm kinda used to it, but when it hits a loved one, then I take issue.
The latest instance: my ex-brother-in-law is refusing to pay the money my niece needs to go to design college this summer. He agreed to pay for her college education as a condition of his divorce from my sister. The fact that he timed his refusal at the last minute has had a ripple stress effect on everybody in this family.
If I were my niece I'm sure I'd have been heartbroken. But as smart and talented as she is I know she'll easily have more choices.
If you're reading this, Gennie...know that we love you and are doing what we can for you. In spite of this crisis, you're still better off yourself than I was when I was your age. Hang in there.

Makes my good news pale in comparison...I've been Guruvated by the folks at the Antarctic Press Forum by winning the Post of the Month Award. Sometime (maybe next post) I'll have links to the forum and other online hangouts of mine.
