[ExI] It's Xmas!

[ilsa]

So I was thinking, Keith, but this is what the mathematician did with Alice
in wonderland down the looking Glass both in all It seems to have part of
the lilt of Chaucer? I'm going to go in and have some dinner I love sitting
outside watching the cars come and go, grin.
I'm starting to crack under the weight of living in the suburbs for 3 years
My next door neighbors spent an entire retreat time at finhorn and came
back the most judgmental foul-minded! Sigh.
I'm looking for a one bedroom apartment in rent control senior housing
hopefully close enough so I can go to UCSF for my medical attention If any
of you know of a place that's available let me know I really need to get
out of the suburbs I mean if I'm asking you for help you know it's been a
year of searching I've made 80 phone calls 500 people ahead of me on the
wait list up to 1500 and my favorite place in San Francisco my first choice
Well enough about me Happy holiday to all of you I will now step back to my
watching faze out. Smile
