tHE TITLE OF THIS bLOG WAS WRITTEN BY kARMA AS SHE MARCHED ACROSS MY KEYBOARD. sHE SEEMS TO ENJOY CAP LOCK TOO!!!

I have a favour to ask of my reading audience:

Gad will be here for a very brief period, so it is better to call first before heading over here this weekend (which I actually prefer all the time, but especially this weekend).

I am being selfish on Gilly's behalf. Normally, I do not consider myself selfish, but I've had to learn some new behaviours as headmaster of, what Gilly terms, this 'episode.' Thankfully, assertiveness is something I was born with, right mom? Anyhow, back to my request...Although he does LOVE visits, sometimes it is simply too much for him. Following crossed conversations is an arduous task; Processing incoming stimuli is tough. It is most conducive to have only a few people at once.

We know that many of you Rivelis clan members would love to see Gad, but let's do Gilly a service by allowing him to control the number of people he can handle. That way he can absorb all the messages Gad sends his way.

"Very good," says Gilly (I read it out loud to see if I represented his wishes properly).
