I am feeling mixed emotions for one of my internet buddies today. On the one hand, he is going through some rough times dealing with illness in his family. On the other, he is celebrating the release of his debut CD. I wish him all the best on both fronts.

Another of my internet buddies is going through a rough emotional patch, and except to say that I am keeping my ears open for whatever she's willing to share, I respect her right to privacy. Sometimes it's difficult to know what to say or do. Suffice to say she's in my thoughts.
