Sounds like everyone's pretty busy. I've been busy in a marathon of talking in the past week. Our friends are going through a crisis in their marriage, and we've been spending a lot of time talking to them (separately) and trying to help in whatever way we can. They both say they want a divorce, but it still seems, to me, that there's a lot of love buried under all that hurt and anger. I also spent about 4 hours talking to my sister-in-law (Avi's brother's wife) who is in a pretty serious depression, mainly blaming herself for the financial mess they're in, but it's more than just a financial matter. We gave them a number of a therapist, so hopefully they'll go and she'll be able to help them. It's hard to see so much suffering around me.

Pat, sending you some warm wishes, too! Its hard watching our loved ones suffer.

I am going to Milton on Saturday to walk in The Rememberance walk with the National Guard. It raises money for The memorial that they have erected at Camp Johnson for the Guard members killed in war. This is the 3rd year that it has been going on. It is a 10K..walk/run. I will be walking with my sister-in-law. Its nice to do this together...hopefully, we won't be the last ones to finish!
This is our second week of back to school...and I am exhausted! For some reason, it has been very hard to get back into the routine..we have a new school building, which is really nice....more construction...new changes...new bonds coming due so they have to cut $2 million from the budget...hummmm, job cuts? Seems very stressful right now....
Hope things are going well for everyone else!! Happy Thoughts.............
