I have a framed picture of a lighthouse and underneath it says: "Cares are left at the water's edge." When I saw that quote, I had to buy the picture. Those few words say it all.

About telephone calls, yes, sometimes they are an intrusion. I'm usually more comfortable with e-mail. E-mail allows me time to think about the message and then I can deal with it when time allows.

It might appeal more to someone who had attended Catholic schools, Yet I only attended them for less than half my education and I don't remember some of the things she referred or else I was never told some of those things. Yet, it was extremely well written;loved the New Orleans setting. And it was interesting how she managed to go back to her faith.

LOL - How ironical!

As for the dangers of bad weather while boating, I know what you mean. These days I try to go boating only in good weather. Our "adventure-days" on wild waters are over... I hope! LOL
