Wednesday 1/12 - Questions, Part 1

Q: How are you doing?

We're doing the best we can. We've made it six months but I think we still have another six months before things get a bit better. We're in the middle of the race at this point.

It's now the day to day things of real life that we have to face. Laundry, clothes, cooking, and homework all seem to be a major focus around the house each day. But that's normal.

Q: How are the boys doing in school?

Both boys have had some adjustments to make this year. And there have been some bumps. But by and large, things are improving. Both did well the first trimester. As a reward, Alex received a gecko which he promptly named "El Nopal". So now our weekends also include buying live crickets for yet another mouth to feed at the house. Fortunately, Jon was easier to please and now has an XBox and Halo2. Things appear on track on track for another good trimester.

Q: Is everything back to normal?

It's clear that we'll never be back to our old normal. As time passes, we are making our new memories. But we'll always have the memory of Kathleen with us,

Q: How is work?

After some staff reorganizations this past summer, I took on new responsibilities. In a perfect world, I would have done this. But I've learned that we don't live in a perfect world anyway. So, I have some new challenges. So far, so good.
