It's been a while. . .

It's been a while since I posted here. The fact that the last few blogs were about Michael's passing kind of made this URL a bit of downer.

However, he and I talked about this blog in the past and Phil Ochs challenged me to step and not hold back, so we'll see what happens!

I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Jerrane on Wednesday and she is doing remarkably well. With the help of a number of friends, she is closing up the house in preparation for a temporary move to Texas. Her father is very ill and she wants to spend time with him. She is planning to return to San Diego after the first of the year. We talked about a lot of things and I'm deeply grateful for her attitude of growth and healing.

On her behalf, thanks to all of you for your tangible and intangible expressions of love and support.

Finally, I was in a conference room last week and one of the attendees stepped up to one of those whiteboard/projection screen cabinets and pulled down the screen to for us all to watch a projected Powerpoint presentation.

He pulled the screen down, let it latch and we all noticed a tiny label near the top of the screen. We all sat stunned as he read, "Do not lower the screen beyond this notice. Damage may occur."

I'll just let you all think about that one.
