Monday

This will be short, I hope.  Before any of you start congratulating me on my trip to NC, I have to tell you that I'm not going.  The person who asked me to go as her guest did me dirty to say the very least.  I feel betrayed, humiliated and am extremely upset.  The worst of it is that the email said it was scriptural and she signed it "In Christ;" let me tell you, there was nothing Christian about it!  I will get over this but right now, I'm not functioning too well.  Fortunately, my friend in NC has been very sympathetic.

Well, summer has finally caught us here in Florida.  It's sunny, hot (low 90's) and so humid you can hardly breathe, typical Aug. weather.  But don't worry, Sept will be worse!  We just got spoiled b/c it was cloudy so long earlier that it kept the temps down and now we can't take the heat.

I'm trying to read but I'm having trouble concentrating, obviously.  I did, however, order and receive a magazine from Ireland which features, guess who, Celtic Thunder, on the cover.  That I could read!  It was a 5-page spread on the newest member but included a lot of information about the group.  The reporter did a really nice job since Celtic Thunder is unknown in their own country!  The magazine is kind of like People but less glitzy and more folksy; I wish I could afford a subscription to it.

I'm glad to learn the shore has been cleaned up a lot.  I worry about it.  I'm sure there's still a lot of work to do around NYC.
