I remember when my daughter was born I had this idea that i would never drink again incase something happened and I needed to drive her to the hospital or something. Funny the way you think things will go or how different everything will be. One of the things that surprises me the most is how much so much of life has stayed the same after her birth and also how much better other parts of gotten.

Mezcal is my drink of choice though, even if it's only an ounce or two a week.

Hi Michael,

I remember when my daughter was born I had this idea that i would never
drink
again incase something happened and I needed to drive her to the hospital
or
something. Funny the way you think things will go or how different
everything
will be. One of the things that surprises me the most is how much so much
of
life has stayed the same after her birth and also how much better other
parts
of gotten.

:-) There is no manual to parenting, what works for one, may not work for antoher.... so it's a journey, right ;-)

Mezcal is my drink of choice though, even if it's only an ounce or two a
week.

I certainly gave that a nudge a couple of years back tripping around Mexico
on a food and beverage tour for a couple of weeks - Most excellent place and people.

Hmmm, yummy. We can get some decent Mezcal up here in Montreal but everytime I have a bottle from Mexico it is on such a completely different level. Where abouts did you go?

Yes, I do remember thinking such things. The biggest though was wow I was no responsible for my daugnter for her very life and well being. That was over 47 years ago. Now because of my health she is taking are of me. In fact all my kids are involvd.

When my health goes I can only hope to be as lucky as you and have family around me like you do while I hang out on fidonet and surf telnet BBS's :)

That thought also blows my mind about the responsibility for all of that and more. How has she surprised you over the years with who she turned out to be in the end versus who you imagined her to become as you watched her grow?

Hiya Michael,

Mexico City, Puebla, Oaxaca and Huatulco

Well now I am even more jealous, I hear Oaxaca has some of the best in the world. I'd love to hear any recommendations for any of those places as I might be visiting Mexico City next year.

I am sure your family will be there for you.

All my kids have more than surprised me. They hung in there not only
tough but loving when I was in my worst chaped totall inubated and not
for sure if I was going survive my heart issues.

They were there not just for me but for each other as sell.

I thank God for my family.

My brothers and my sister were also supporting them. I have 7 broters
and 1 sister.

I am sure your family will be there for you.

One will hope. When I was young my parents moved away from the rest of my family and it was only in my later years that I moved back to this side of
the country where I'm closer to them. Growing up without any family close by diminishes ones, or my, attachment to them and as such I haven't really made
a big effort to maintain strong relationships. We just kind of make our own pod and focus on that. So accepting of the fact that at the end it'll
probably be a much smaller group helping me get on but this is the life we
lead

That is remarkable, especially in this day and age where that sense of collectivism seems to have been replaced whole-heartedly with individualism. How's the ticker these days?

My brothers and my sister were also supporting them. I have 7 broters
and 1 sister.

1 brother and a number of 1/2 and step sisters in the wings but they are all 5000KM away. I'm hoping that relationship will strengthen over time but I'm not one to force it.

Thanks for sharing though, makes me stop and appreciate the beautiful family
I have and cherish these moments.

I would always want to keep open mind about keeping in touch wit family. With todays technology it facilitate keeping in touch.

My heart doctor said he did not want to see for 6 months. I was going very 3 nd then 4 months interval. So my heart is stronger and I can walk with out assistance and up to a mile with few rest stops.

Definitely we leave messages all the time, I want to make sure my daughter
has a connection but neither side makes a huge effort at the end of the day. It's just not something either side feels overly compelled to do.

That's amazing news, happy to hear it! Way to stick with it and hope you
have some beautiful places to walk to, or take a laptop with you and do some BBS'ing while you rest.
