The word of the day for May 17, 2007 is “exhausted” — adjective : 1 a : consumed entirely : USED UP. b : tired extremely or completely. c : deprived of a valuable quality or constituent. 2 a : drawn off or let out completely. b : emptied by drawing off the contents; specifically : created a vacuum in. 3 a : considered or discussed (a subject) thoroughly or completely. b : tried out the whole number.
Back from vacation late yesterday evening. We had a great time, but we are both extremely tired. Makes the aphorism “Been there, done that, got the t-shirt” seem lame by comparison. Lloyd says that the next time we have to go more than a six hour drive, we’re going to fly.
We stopped at Denver for a lovely visit with Lloyd’s cousin, her family and one of my high school friends and her husband. Then to San Francisco to eat shrimp and view the Golden Gate Bridge. On to Portland, OR for a great visit with Tim and his friend, Amelia. Off to home again through Eastern Utah and Western Colorado through some of the most spectacular landscapes one can imagine. As soon as I can get the photos into “You’ve Got Pictures,” I’ll post the URL so you can all be bored silly at your leisure.
The quote for today is from Vince Lombardi (1913 - 1970):
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

Glad to see you back. Missed my morning dictionary word !! Your holiday sounds as if it was great if a bit busy...but lots of memories for the days to come.
