A few weeks ago, I asked help from Washington/Oregon Kossacks as my daughter was hoping to relocate to the Pacific NW. We received such wonderful information, and she used it as she and my grandson spent two weeks exploring the region.

My second subscription gift just went through. I am one of the lucky ones. At 62 years old I've kept my career and, with luck, will make it to retirement without having to sacrifice too much.

First of all - thanks to all the Kossacks who sent information and tips to my daughter and grandson as they started their great NW Adventure. They left the 15th. Update under the squiggle.

My darling daughter is planning to start a new career and a new chapter of her life - and she has her sights set on relocating from South Carolina to Oregon or Washington. Her newly-chosen field (surgery technician) appears to have job openings in the Pacific NW, and those openings appear to pay enough to allow her and her 4-year old son a decent lifestyle.

Darling Daughter was born in Wisconsin, lived for a time in Tennessee, North Carolina, and for the bulk of her growing-up years in Ohio, before joining us in South Carolina. She knows she doesn't want to stay in the South (too hot, too religious, too right wing), and she doesn't want to brave the winters of the North. So, after much study, she has honed in on the Pacific NW.

Here's where we could use your help.

No siree. We have a plan. Because it's clear that the Federal Reserve is going to bury the dollar. So South Carolina is getting ready. Thank goodness we have forward thinkers like State Senator Lee Bright. Are you sensing an oxymoron?

Governor Mark Sanford, South Carolina's governor, or so I've been told, announced he and his family leave Thursday for a two-week European vacation. While he admits that the timing isn't the greatest, his sons had saved for the trip, so he felt he owed it to them.

My son-in-law is currently serving his second deployment - this time in Iraq. His son, my beloved grandson, is living near us with our equally-beloved daughter. We are so lucky that we have them close to us. My SIL, however, does not have the joy of watching his 2-year old son succeed and fail at potty training. Okay, maybe that's a bad example. It's kind of messy sometimes.

But think of all he'll be missing during this year. The sounds of the little parrot, as he mimics us with his early sentences. The fun of watching him play in the water on these hot summer days. That lower lip that juts out when the pouting starts.

So many fathers are missing their children today. Please, in their honor, consider contributing to Netroots for the Troops. It's easy. It's fast. And it sends a strong message to the fathers in our armed services that we know the sacrifices they make every day - not just on Father's Day.

And because it's only right - remember the mothers who are wishing they could wish their husbands a happy Father's Day in person today too.

For those of us who wrote to the CEO of Sagus to thank them for their generous donation to the Dillon, SC school, this email has been received. Thought you all might enjoy seeing it.

News reports indicate that Natasha Richardson has died after a terrible accident. My deepest sympathies go out to her family and friends.

Monday during my lunch hour, I happened to tune into the local Columbia NPR station to hear an interview with a delegate to the Republican Convention in my home state of Minnesota. Oh my.

My dear father-in-law just doesn't get it. I know he knows I'm a Democrat. I know he knows I'm opinionated. So why would he send me his latest mass email on John McCain's sons, with a horrible misquote of Senator Obama at the end?
