After a week of reading during downtime at work (ok let's face it, my to-do list was on hold until I finished), I have read every word of the trail of ashes and am now current on the "final" chapter. Glad it's not really final. I've had my no memes where I thought it would be my last visit, but it never lasts long. GerryG, I've taken meticulous notes and can't wait until my reach so I can put those notes to good use. Thanks for all the laughs, the tears, the warm fuzzy feelings, and that love of Negril that is conveyed with every post. Would love an update on Bentley. He was at the top of my list for visits this reach until I got current and learned of his illness. I hope he's recovering. It breaks my heart to think I may not meet him after all. Looking forward to the next installment.
