Oh, I didn't realize you are that close to him! Well, next time I visit my brother we will have to get together. There wouldn't have been enough time on this visit. I was only there for half a day.

Sorry about your car, but it probably is to be expected, especially after this past winter.

Wow, a new young director! I hope he works out for your library. Our horrible director has at last been forced out and will be retiring at the end of the year - it was that or be fired. Now we just have to make sure they don't hire our assistant director to replace her. What a disaster that will be!!! But supposedly they are hiring a consultant to evaluate the situation at the library and make recommendations. She or he will talk to staff and we plan to say A LOT. Meanwhile, the reference dept. is grossly understaffed and we're struggling to keep our heads above water. It's a losing battle...

Enjoy your cruise!
