It's been great to "hear" (hee hee) from all of you here on ye olde blog. I enjoyed hearing from Conor about his theatre work, and Patti's punctuation patrol, and a guest appearance from Michael at OTC, and it's always fun to see a photo of hair from the last century - thanks, Chris. Here's another hair item: the boys' summer cuts, and Andrew's first buzz cut. School ended last Thursday. Jaime leaves for South Africa on Thursday for a 10-day trip. And I am looking forward to the temp rising above 80 for the first time this year. It's not in forecasts yet, but I have faith that it WILL happen.
