so i guess u like to read? did u ever read What makes Sammy Run? it was one of my favorite books. it was loosely based on Sammy Glick some famous hollywood producer. or maybe it wasnt loosely based maybe it was biographical, i can't remember. Hey Canuk, do u remember Wing Commander? do u remember that room he had in the back of the house he was renting while he was building his house? did u ever keep in touch with any of those people? i would have loved to see that house they built. i'd like to go back there and visit him and his wife and see the house now. seriously

Yes I like to read. Which is a good thing because otherwise my job would drive me crazy. Let me explain. In the mornings I drive my crane to wherever in the plant they need something hoisted and I sit and wait for them to get the thing ready to be hoisted. This could take and hour or it could take 5 hours. Or they could take something out and have to go fix it and then want it put back in. Anyways there is a lot of down time in this job. The bosses don't like it when you sleep in the crane so I read. Lots. 200 to 300 pages a day. Good thing the library sells books for 50 cents. Of course I remember Wing Commanders little beach cottage. And the little room. And the frogs and other jungle noises. Why do you think I've got masks up all over my house? And no, I haven't kept in touch with any of them. Sent an e-mail or two but got no reply. WC didn't have a computer so no e-mail address

wow, right. course u can get the books for free at the library providing you return them right? did he have masks up? i dont remember that. i used to write all the time to the psychiatrists wife, was it karen? i forget, but we lost touch after a few years. you know, that place is one of the reasons i am in nursing school. i met a woman from the states (while i was in Grand Cayman)who said they ONLY let her live and work there bcuz she was a nurse and they needed nurses. like canada and europeans could too. but not us americans unless you're in the health field. i toured the hospital on Grand Cayman, WOW, like someones basement or garage. really antiquated! of COURSE they DID have a decompression chamber! hahahha . why is it again that canadians and europeans can live and work there? i bet i could find wing commander and the doc and his wife via the web, private message me thier names and i'll see if i can find them!!!! i'll write more tomorrow when i'm in the library

Our library has a big book sale twice a year. I know I could just borrow the books for free but the books I take to work can get kind of mangled. Greasy hands etc. Yes, the beach house had lots of masks on the walls. WC didn't put them up, the person he was renting from did. Canadians can get work in the Caymans because we are both part of the British Commonwealth. That means that Queen E. still owns a heck of a lot of our country. Like, what you call federal land we call crown land 'cause somebody with a crown still owns it. I'll see if I can find their names in an old address book. Might take a while.
