Post Halloween thoughts...


I cannot believe how long it has been since posting here. I guess we are all "snowed under" with the fall. Many times I have thought of connecting or responding, but it never makes it to the top of Grandpa's desk...the old roll-top that sits in my office at Curry College. His desk is a source of wonderful family presence in my professional life -- and gets lots of comments! I am only to happy to regale anyone willing to listen about our Grandpa who, fresh from his BS degree at New Hampshire University began teaching at UConn. Times have changed indeed. Anyway, I had heard that Alex is settled at Williams and that Larry has traveled East to visit -- but I'm not sure. I would love to hear how he's doing! Aunt Alice, I wanted to say how proud I was that you wrote a letter to Sasha and Melia -- which is something I might think of doing -- but you actually did! Deb I know I owe you a phone call but never seem to pick up the phone. Carol and Mark continue to amaze me with your energy and bottomless capacity to create adventure. I won't say anything to my brother since he has never contributed to this blog, but maybe this slight will prompt a response!

I just want my dear family to know that we are doing what we do, driving back and forth to school, trying to combat ignorance and anxiously watching the health-care bill traveling through Congress.

What are various plans for Thanksgiving?

love to all!
