There are approximately umpteen things I have been intending to discuss on this thread, but I have never been busier at work and at home.

I can't let this day go by without a note of amazement--Holly and I were married ten years ago today, and I am surprised that she has put up with me the whole time. Certain people who know us well call her my "better nine-tenths."

Anyway, hopefully more on the umpteen topics soon.

I hope that all who read this are finding things to be happy about and hopeful about (if you're not...look harder!) It's tough sledding on many fronts these days, but there are always blessings to appreciate...even if it's just the exquisite smell of the blooming jasmine in your front yard, or a happy laugh from your baby, or feeling connected to your neighborhood by walking your dog.
