And among her MANY great attributes is one that not every one realizes \u2013 she is very tough. Very tough mentally. In fact the toughest 103 pounds anyone is likely to come across. She lived quite well on her own in Jamaica while teaching for five years, she\u2019s been willing to get arrested and do jail time for her beliefs, and she\u2019s put up with me for 26 years. And now she\u2019s handling my lymphoma and treatment with great aplomb. Joe and Tim are crazy about her, and so am I! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/12\/novo_house_frodos_restaurant_brigid_head.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10118\" title=\"Novo_house_frodos_restaurant_brigid_head\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/12\/novo_house_frodos_restaurant_brigid_head.jpg 400w, https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/12\/novo_house_frodos_restaurant_brigid_head-262x300.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"><span face=\"Times New Roman\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Brigid\u2019s birthday.
