WryAwry

I may end-up wearing out my keyboard exclamation key! First, May I say that your format and layout are top-notch, relatively easy to use, and nicely intuitive. Easy on the eyes, and quite attractive. It is obvious that a great deal of thought and energy has gone into the design... and unless I miss my guess -- a great deal of practical experience. I frequently use my kindle for poking around, and your site works flawlessly vis-a-vis screen fit and screen rotation. Nice! Much better than most other sites. I'd love to see a floating "HOME" and "TOP OF PAGE" button. Additionally, perhaps some of the secondary features could be a tab, rather than a long scroll down the page. Another Member of chiriqui.life also suggested a "recent activity" tab, which I agree would likely receive a lot of use. Thanks so much for your hard work and for a winning site! There goes that exclamation point again! Respectfully, Davitt

There seems glaring handwriting on the wall ....

Yo tambien!

Dearest Marion, You know that I speak joined with your wide range of loved ones and dear friends when I express not only our unspeakable dismay and outrage for what you have endured, but also our well-founded certainty that your incredible strength will prevail over these challenges, and that you are coming back to us healing in body, in mind, and in spirit. It is my personal and fervent hope that you keep in the forefront of your beautiful mind that the resources that surround you and embrace you in your recovery are ... limitless. May your own healing be powerfully representative of the more profound healing that this world is so desperately in need of, and may goodness and light prevail over the cowardly forces of darkness. Susan and I want you to know that here is a place you can come to -- anytime. Remember the retarded dogs. Dear Deborah, Nice ta meetcha. I can only imagine the power that your presence brings to Marion during this crucial time. It brings me selfish comfort knowing that the bond of love between a Mother and her Daughter is eternal, strong as titanium and tender and fragile as a flower. The electrons coursing between your own heart and your Momma's heart are like a solar wind -- a force of nature that cannot be measured, nor fully comprehended -- nor stopped. It is the best thing that both of you have. It is the thing you share. This is the time when the magnitude of your fundamental love for one another is revealed in all its majesty (and complexity!) I swear to you, these moments will be revealing of the very essence of your life, and revealing of more tools than you ever even realized were in your possession. Please keep that in your heart for the tricky times. There are always tricky times. Please understand that these notes are only indicative of my own shock and disbelief, my own sense of hopeful relief for the indicators I hear that Marion is strengthening, and the helplessness that I feel that I haven't got some kind of a magic beam that I could shoot down there to make everything better again. I honestly believe that you are the magic beam. Dear Marvin, We miss you. With love, with real hope, and with that perpetual wish for ease and grace, Dav 09 Way Home.mp3 09 Way Home.mp3

Love the look of Chiriqui Life. Hope I can play politely and productively. Susan used an extinguisher on my hair-on-fire, so now I'm only smoldering. Looking forward to civilized repartee and happy banter. Wishing all well, with -- of course -- ease and grace. Los mejores deseos de salud y felicidad! Cordially, Davitt M. Armstrong I mean, wryawry

Really. Free. Not even $9.99 Balboas. Don't hesitate to ask for expert (but remote) advice about your construction/building project -- especially plumbing needs. It's what I do. Maybe I can help you save a few bucks. Dav
