The FUND organized by colleagues of Rob’s at the High School, is still set up for them as their bills are overwhelming……You can send donations of any amount to Lisa Morris, c/o Eggers Baby George Fund, Key West High School, 2100 Flagler Ave., Key West, FL 33040.

THE GEMINI PERSONALITY…MAY 22-JUNE 21!!!
This is one of the most lively and vibrant signs. Geminis are bright, mercurial, and terrific company, and somehow, they never seem to age! They seem to always look younger than other people their age. Their attitude about life keeps them more youthful than their contemporaries. They love keeping up with the latest trends, and their interest in everything and everyone is insatiable! The internet, cell phones, computer, and the whole technological revolution is a real gift to Geminis, because it has opened a whole new way to communicate. They love people, and there is not a person they will not strike up a conversation with. They love to dish and love to be the first with the latest news. They do have a low boredom threshold and find it hard to concentrate on one thing for very long. Geminis are versatile, adaptable….yet are sometimes very moody. There are times when a Gemini wants to be totally alone, and others when they need to talk to everyone! A Gemini also tends to change his opinions a lot. In love, Geminis have a hard time expressing their feelings, and emotions can make him/her embarrassed and tongue tied. Geminis have problems with those who wear their hearts on their sleeves, and have trouble being in a relationship with someone clingy or possessive and needy. In spite of this, people adore a Gemini’s sunny nature, their ready laugh, and their fascinating conversation. A Gemini will choose someone bright and interesting and with a sense of humor, over someone attractive and dull. Geminis are drawn toward jobs in the media, communications, advertising, sales, with lots of variation, and ideally chances to travel.
We love our Gemini Friends…
