You made my blogroll because we both have crushes on minority athletes. High Five. <BR/><BR/>I'm so happy to see Wesley's mom here. I LOVE Wesley's mom, even though I don't know Wesley. I suspect her name is Debbie, so I love her even more. <BR/><BR/>Thanks Lo and Pat and the rest of you for relating. <BR/><BR/>and T, you should really try to cry in the car.

Then again, Eat Love Eat Again (or was it Some More?) makes a whole lot of sense, too, since there are some who only cry in their car for the sake of privacy and are left with no other alternative than to drown their tears in more food.

What a cool dude! And I love the idea of praying for specific people to help you. Sounds like I need to read that book!<BR/><BR/>When I was little, I had a children's series of books about important and brave people throughout history. In these books, the main character always had a little animal friend helping them. I'm not sure why. I guess just to appeal to the kiddos. One of them was about Jackie Robinson. I can't remember who his animal "guide" was.
