"...Remember that there is only one important time and that is Now. The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion. The most important person is always the person with whom you are, who is right before you, for who knows if you will have dealings with any other person in the future. The most important pursuit is making that person, the one standing at your side, happy, for that alone is the pursuit of life."
- Leo Tolstoy
That settles it then. As of last night, the diet is off! For now, its back to packing and the time-honoured (Americans, please note the correct spelling) pursuit of suitcase stuffing. Lidy has once loaded her massive port; then unloaded half, only to find it still won't close! Perhaps it will all be sorted out by the excess baggage rules when we get to the airport...
For now, it's breakfast with Crystal to the musical accompaniment of Craig's snoring while we ponder the question: "Is it the first day or is it the last day?" But first, this update.
