Oh yes, you told me about that... guess those 12 days will seem like forever! I'll tell Cathie to set aside that day so both of you can go dancing!!! I'm the odd man out here... "the downtrodden broken hearts" are why poetry exists... not humour! Love ya dear Judy xxxxxxx

Someone suggested making her dinner... I suggest ordering it delivered so you can spend the night pampering her... Hope the bruises and owies go away soon! Take good care of Lady Cathie...

There are still a lot of caring people in the world! MOST have sweet loving hearts! It's only those few at the top that make their self-interested decisions that affect all of regular loving folks! Sad... love, Jack xxxxxx
