Welcome 2008

Two months since my last post and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up.
That 2007 is over is a great relief.
Considering what's going on in the rest of the world I'm in great shape. So I'm not complaining, mind you. Just still waiting, I guess, for the epiphany.
The only "message" I've received recently is that I should not have moved the ngamo erte. It now appears ddae.
If you're not up to word scramble so early in the morning or so early in the year, the ngamo erte is the mango tree the kids gave me for Christmas 2006. Since they couldn't wrap it and put it under the Frasier fir, they put Scrabble tiles in a box and wrapped that.
I never did figure out the scramble. A mango tree was not on my top 100 in terms of things I thought they'd give me. So I probably could have stared at those tiles for 100 years and not interpreted the letters correctly.
Besides, the grandkids couldn't stand the suspense and after about two minutes, spelled it out for me.
Anyway, I had the tree planted in a spot it did not like. So about two weeks ago I had it moved.
It didn't much like the actualy transfer and it apparently hated the recently cold spell.
That it appears ddae means, of course, that it looks as if it's gone to mango tree heaven.
I'll give it a few weeks to revive. Should I give it longer? If you know, let me know.
I don't want to turn it into iinkdlng.

Judy, we also have a mango tree and it is doing fine. I would give it some time, and also apply a few 'oooms' and reiki. (Can't hurt, might help.) By the way, when you were first let go from the Tribune, I sent a letter to the editor and told them of my displeasure. I also canceled my subscription. It took me a while, but I finally subscribed to the SP Times, which I was extremely loathe to do, since I resent how they seem to be taking over downtown Tampa. (I am a native of Tampa and more specifically, Ybor City. I still live in my childhood home there.) Through gritted teeth, I have to admit that the Times is a better paper. I see things in there that the Trib would never think of publishing - e.g. poetry. Or am I wrong? Did I miss something all those years when I was reading the Trib? Anyway, thanks for inadvertently introducing me to the Times, although it pains me to say it.

I miss your earthy column!

I miss your columns at Father Trib. I have changed to FATHER because of lack of support for HILLARY! With over half the population and I assume over half their readership being female I would think we would have their support!!!
