I love reading what John writes! I can almost imagine being back in Cornwall again, although our 75 degree sunny day here in San Diego makes it a big difficult to imagine the "wet and miserable" conditions. (Send us some rain! Wee need it!) My older son planned on living in a lighthouse on Maui and count migrating whales for a living, but ended up living in an apartment in Manhattan, working for a large pharmaceutical company and counting taxicabs instead. The lighthouse venue for our Virtual Party sounds wonderful. We have a beautiful lighthouse here in San Diego I love to visit, if any of you come here for a isit someday!
