There is a rather crazy member of the museum that sleeps there. 
There is no way on God's green earth that I would stay in the same 
caboose with that character. I am not prejudiced about people by 
race, ethnicity, national origin, etc., but I reserve the right to 
dislike certain individuals just because they are stranger than fiction.

Well, I popped in on my granddaughter yesterday. She was a little 
sullen. I asked where her live in lover was, i.e. the father of my 
great grandchild. Amyne Mohammed, it turns out, didn't understand 
the song lyrics that go, "You gotta know when to hold, and know when 
to fold." He didn't fold. He made the mistake of drinking in a 
rural, small town bar in northern Lancaster County. 
   
  >>>What Kenny Rogers said was, "you gotta know when to hold em, you gotta know when to fold em, and most of all you gotta know when to walk away............He forgot about the 'walking away' part. After all, discretion is the better part of valor !
   
   
   He is now in Lancaster County Prison in default of $200,000 
bail which Shannon doesn't have. She also cannot afford an 
attorney. I'm fighting my wife so I really cannot afford any 
additional attorney bills She said she can't go to Grandma because she "will probably have a nervous breakdown." I can see her stone drunk over it. And she 
can't go to her mom (my daughter) because she is the other alcoholic 
in the family.

I'm really glad, Herb, that Marie's father isn't living to see 
this. It would kill the man to see this. He was the opposite 
pole ... a self made man who rose to be one of the highest regarded 
thorasic surgeons in Lancaster County in spite of an Italian 
background at a time when the German's did not suffer Italians 
gladly. His father's surgical partner was my school board president 
back in the 1950s.I understand my wife has been doing a lot of crying over this. Then I guess we can dissolve the marriage and sell the house.Of course, if she has been crying, why did she start all this?
