Hugs to all that needs 'em.

P-C - I'm enjoying reading about your time in India. I'm curious where English is spoken in India or who speaks it. If people don't speak English, my memory is telling me they speak many languages, but I'm not sure about that.

I think this test is secretly paid for by Little Rock. It came out as my first choice and that can't be right.

ION, it is raining like the end of the world here and very, very gray. I finally managed to schedule the bonescan the oncologist wants me to have, after about 10 days of being sent to the wrong scheduler, leaving messages and, today, using redial to call the nuclear medicine people every 15 minutes. The scan is more or less routine, although I do have some minor pain, but I guess I'm stuck with scary tests for pretty much the rest of my life. Bleech.

Hugs to all that needs 'em.

Aw, thanks, ya big lug. You doin' good?

Baton Rouge was the top choice for me. Now I'm reading the report and thinking I want to move back home.

You doin' good?

Yes I am. 2005 is starting out pretty good for me, although it's already testing me financially. I started the year out with a small cushion and it's already gone, which makes me unhappy, but other things are working out fantastically. I guess I can't complain too loud about being broke.

Also, I mercilessly tagged you, without so much as a by your leave, but only because the line CRACKED. ME. UP.

Baton Rouge and New Orleans were both on my list, as were a number of California cities.

I think they're on mine because I specified lots of rain and no cold weather.

In Gujarat, where I was, most everyone speaks Gujarati. The national language is Hindi, which is similar to Gujarati but different enough. Not a lot of people spoke English, really. Clearly, many people do know it, or enough, since there are still a lot of signs in English, and while few are fluent in English, most know various key phrases. There's a lot more English in Hindi films and songs than there used to be.

There are various other languages spoken in other parts of India, like Tamil and...several others. I don't know much about them.

Oh, guess it is recently new. Sean has a new tag!

I didn't say no cold weather, but I did say "no snow." I think the number of ideal locations for a person who likes cities but wants the temperature to stay between 40 and 75 is pretty small.
