Good Friday 2004, the first I can remember when all Christion rites align.

Great news on tv, The Empire has withdrawn from Sadr city
and halted its attack on Falluja, Thanks be to God for the resistance,
if not them then who?
One report says that ALL major town centers in the South are with the al-Mahdi Army.

42 U.S. troops and more than 460 Iraqis have died this week.

9Apr the 1st anniversary of Mothers last breath.
Her generation took great delight in an expensive hotel room at Rotorua.
I moved with people who took great delight in finding the best route from Goa to Kathmandu..
Big Sister somehow in the middle, A family who has never had
to collect anyone from jail, probably not even from A&E.

that she is the only sib who contacts me un-provoked, with deep sympathy.

Little bro M has moved into Newtown ("The Lawyers are coming!")
I guess with no more white weddings,
our family is destinied to fall apart. Only Funerals may gather us,
and mine is nearer the top than the bottom of that list.

I have found a house, with a tiny brick yard, still near to King St.
the relief is astounding.
Also 50 polyproplyne sacks for $15, the only way top move books.
