iwish ... iwant ... iread ... idraw ... ilove ... i really want an ipad!!

However, I have thought more about this and am not sure if the size is right for me. My ipod touch is so tiny and convenient. When I was little, I used to imagine owning a Dick Tracy type of wristwatch on which I could watch TV, read, communicate... it seems that what I already own might fit the bill aptly for me! I admire Apple whose innovations are then "copied" and I respect Steve Jobs' wonderful design sense. So I hope that the ipad has a niche; I just don't think it's with me.

Dancing Sisters

PLEASE ENJOY BUT DON'T LIFT MY WORK. THANK YOU.

When I was in high school I danced the Temptation Walk...

as you can see ...







My oldest sister did the Jerk.

Dad would roll his eyes but I appreciated the groundbreaking factor.

She had a mean wrist flick ...






My second oldest sister won a Mashed Potatoes Contest.



You can imagine the news that was in my house.





My younger sister's agility manifested itself in gymnastics ...



She could curl her toes completely under her feet and still walk.

She could shimmy up a 50 foot flagpole.
I am ashamed to admit that her sisters encouraged this behavior
for the amusement of our friends.

Having An Epiphany? Nollaig mBan

• January 6 is the Feast of the Three Wise Men. Of course, there is the old joke: If they had been Three Wise Women they would have stopped and asked for directions, gotten there on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned up and put down fresh straw, brought practical gifts, and made a casserole!

Nollaig mBan
• In Ireland, the Epiphany is better known as Nollaig mBan - Little Christmas or "Women's Christmas". This is the day when women are cherished, can put their feet up (after twelve or more days of slaving away to keep everyone else happy) and enjoy. Ah and 'tis an almost forgotten tradition.
