My Joni community. I don't celebrate Christmas but I'd like to wish you all a happy time with your friends and family this week and to those of you who, like me will be alone, feel the love vibrations coming from my humble little cottage here in Lilyfield. To you in Winnipeg, Lund, Greenville, Seattle, Oslo, London, Toronto, Sydney, Atlanta, Montreal, San Diego, Los Angeles, Glasgow, New Jersey, Ohio, Florida, Malaysia, New Zealand, France, Spain, Italy and in your city. We won't be having a white Christmas here but it looks like it will be a wet Christmas. Not such a bad thing. Sydney has never looked greener from all this rain. I just wish I had a river I could skate away on right now. Happy Hanukah to those about to light that fourth candle. Take care, those who are facing difficult weather conditions. We are witnessing what you are going through here. Enjoy your turkey, prawns, Panetone, Stollen, etc. Mark in Sydney NP September - David Sylvian ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 05:25:27 -0500 From: "Mark Angelo" Subject: Re: Songs that make me cry NJC There's a lot of them.

While scrolling through it and seeing all of the beautiful, old, mostly European libraries, I thought, well, I doubt they have the Seattle library listed since it is almost brand new and very contemporary. But there it was. It is kind of like a big glass, oddly shaped box. It is situated just 1 block from where I work. On days when the weather is bad and I need to get out of the office for lunch, I go up there and walk around the library.

Something about sodium level not being at the right place. The hospital has pushed his release target back to Friday the 26th. Travis just called me. Last night when I was there after work, he started getting chills. The nurse checked his temp and it was elevated. They gave him some tylenol but he still had fever when I left. I asked him this morning if he still had a fever. He said a little one. He didn't know how much. All the hospitals apparently use Celsius and not Fahrenheit anymore so I always have to ask for a translation when they tell me his temp. He was sitting on the edge of the bed and had eaten some breakfast. It's snowing again this morning. It took me an hour and a half to get home last night. Most of that was just getting from the hospital to the freeway. Harborview sits on top of 1st Hill and is very difficult to approach on icy streets. Lots of steep hills. So for the moment, I'm stuck here feeling kind of frustrated and helpless. But I know Travis is in good hands so I have to put my trust in that. He sounded ok on the phone. Still cognizant and lucid. Let's hope this fever is just a little bug going around the hospital and he will be over it soon and back home. The nurses last night told me that the Physical Therapist's notes indicate that he will only need to check back a couple of times and will not need a 24 hour care-giver after he's released. So it looks like there won't be any serious permanent damage. Keep the prayers and good thoughts coming. Hope all who celebrate it are enjoying your Christmans Eve and Santa brings everything you want tonight.

It's Christmas morning here in Sydney and although I try not to think about it, families and loved ones are together this morning and I sit here alone with my dog and my cup of coffee and feeling a bit lonely. I tried to remember where you all are and imagine what it is like there. Forgive me for forgetting exactly where some of you are. So, love and happiness to you in Fort Myers and Tampa and up in rural Canada and everywhere else I've missed. To the lurkers too. In Texas, Indiana, Saskatchewan, the Philippines, Germany, Holland, Scotland, New York and wherever else you are (please write where you are). I wish you love and happiness. Kate, I believe Helen in New Zealand is a rural girl. She seems to be always milking something or shearing something and I'm sure its not her girlfriend. Love and happiness to you, Kate and to Helen and partners. It turns out that I was wrong about the weather. It is the most perfect Summer day here in Sydney. Not a cloud in the sky. The fish markets will be buzzing and the beaches will be full of tourists. I wish I was a fly on the wall in some of your houses today to feel the love being shared. My thoughts are with all of you.

Mark, you are correct ;o) My partner and I live in a rural environment, surrounded by dairy farms, about an hour's drive from the nearest city. Our property is only 6 acres, but we have cattle, sheep and chickens. My partner is manager of a dairy farm down the road - she's a "real" farmer ;o) The day here started cloudy and cold, but the sun is now out, and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day. And yes, we are milking 300+ cows this afternoon, but in this kind of weather, sitting on the quad bike (with a view of the harbour) behind a herd of cows for half an hour, while they make their way to the shed, is not exactly a hardship. The milking part is hard work, but we'll need a work-out, in order to work off the bottles of bubbly we've been celebrating with this morning ;o) Merry Xmas to all, and especially to those spending the day alone - you know you're not "really" alone, right?!
