And can't wait to hear the results of the search for Tara Kilbane in hopes of a reenactment.<BR/><BR/>On a serious note, I shall look forward to your stories about your father's adventures. Hope you can give us a link.<BR/><BR/>Now, knowing you, you are having sleepless nights with Sock Madness Two right around the corner as it were. You had better take something to relax, slow down on the startitis, although a good alternative project will get you through the days between challenges. I thoroughly expect you to give everyone a good run for their money.Angelunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333889782201425122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-5558107450033097292008-03-11T00:47:00.000+00:002008-03-11T00:47:00.000+00:00I loved reading your post about your hike and the ...I loved reading your post about your hike and the photos.
