I asked my 4 sisters to say something at my wedding reception. They could have read a poem, anything. Found out later they got in such a fight about what to do, none of them were speaking leading up to my wedding.

The happy ending is they sang an amazing customized rendition of The Partridge Family’s “I Think I Love You” together that wowed everyone.

LOL!  Here's my brother's tribute to me, presumably written with the help of his lawyer who was trying to disqualify me as executor.

Another thing that's happened over the last few weeks is that my friend Shelly is no longer just my friend Shelly.  She's now my housemate Shelly (don't worry, it's strictly platonic)!  The condo that she was renting was sold because the owner and his wife want to move out of state.  They didn't make the decision quickly, but they finally sold and moved.  Some of the remodeling that I did last year was just in case this might happen, but now it's officially official. 




Sounds like excellent news, George! 


Thanks, Freddie!

Glad you are able to help Shelly out, DR George.

Thanks, Singdaw!  It hasn't been easy, but it was a good decision.

Jrand, that's such a beautiful birthday tribute to you on Facebook from your sister Myrna!

I figure she won't mind that I quote it here:
"Myrna Cooke
Happy, Happy Birthday to Jackrandall Earles!!!  My brother, my friend, my mentor, and one of the most positive influences in my life. 
Not only for me, but for all of the people for whom you have always been a safe place, sounding board, and sympathetic advisor.  You have changed lives, you have touched so many souls, and healed so many broken and lost people.  The ripple effect of your loving guidance has changed the course of many lives for the better.
You opened up a world of knowledge and a love of music, film, and writing that has captured the imaginations of your siblings, their children, and into the next generation.  Because of you, this world is better.  Because of you, this world is expanded to include all the beauty in life that most people miss.
Thank you for everything and my only hope is that your blessings for all you do come back to you one hundredfold.  I love you and Happiest of Birthdays to you, dear brother."

That's lovely, Jrand!

Oh my, I didn’t mean to be away so long. Terrible internet connectivity issues threw me into mental disarray at a time when I was hosting an industry webinar for work. Telecom people had to come and rewire my house, essentially. And never really figured out the problem. But the work computers are now connected directly to to modem, so wifi issues shouldn’t affect work anymore.

Welcome back, Rodzinski, and good news about the no more bad wi-fi!

But once I bought a box of Boo Berry cereal because I’d never had it. Got that outta my system.
