I really wanted to go on the trip, but passed it up just because I didn't want to around Ruth.Then several weeks ago, Dad had been in San Francisco on...another business trip and he had stayed with Aunt Sue and she had accepted his invitation to come stay with us for several weeks. I remember my initial reaction when I realized that I have to "nurse maid" Ruth for two weeks.I also remember how I forgot all of that and dust, when Ruth gave me a big smile as she jumped out of the car and ran over. Can I e-mail you some things so you know what to look for and what to do to prepare you for what may have to happen?" Sure, you have my personal e-mail address. Carol has her own, but doesn't know my password. I change it every month and I think I need to change it right now." Bob, can you access her e-mail? You might want to look and see if there are any suspect e-mails there." I said I thought I could.We talked for about another ten minutes and then I hung up and looked to see if Carol was. “The next station is Covent Garden, please alight on the right-hand side of the train,” the train’s speakers crackled the recorded announcement, and I stirred from my seat, brushing past him as I stood.

"Yes!" she growled in appreciation.Another busy, creative day, with brief times between to eat and relax beside or in the lake, ended at dinner and the Snake's Tales afterwards.During dinner, an absolutely gorgeous, tall, voluptuous Chinese woman arrived and embraced and kissed Nick. "Han Chen!" Zhenzhen beamed. "Come on." She took my hand. "She wants to meet you."We approached just as Chen and Nick broke their embrace, and Zhenzhen bowed, so I felt compelled to as well. "None of that," Chen.
