Hi Adri!

It's been a while since I've posted. I guess our regular conversations have been more direct, less on the internet lately. Things have been crazy busy. Crazy crazy busy.

Martin, our second partner has decided to cut back on his work so Tim and I have picked up even more. Things with GEF SEC are absurd. And I've been on the road. So far this year I've hopped the Atlantic 6 times, been on 4 continents and stayed in more hotels than I care to remember.

But all in all it's going well. You know that.

Actually, I'm writing to let folks know I've put up a new blog. I'm building a new office on our property, and it's a good challenge. I'm looking for constructive feedback (hee hee) and thought folks might be interested.

The address is: http://greened-house.blogspot.com/

Oh, the house still hasn't sold. I don't want to talk about it.

James is working as a life guard and assistant manager at a city pool in a low income neighborhood. It will go well with his anti-poverty work he was involved with last year.

Bill is fine. He's a trooper if ever there was one. He saved the nest of Carolina Wren eggs in a plant on our front porch from a snake last night and then turned the snake loose in a wilderness area near by. Momma bird was very happy. Bill was very happy. He's been muttering "save the birds, save the snake, next save the cheerleader, save the world." Too much TV maybe?

Dad is doing well. He's finding things to do. He's been walking regularly, and playing music with a neighbor friend of ours. He's also been running James to work a lot, which is a big help. (He'll get his licence next month - James, not Dad) He's got a roof over his head, and food in his belly.

Sam and crew are coming down next week. That should be good fun.

And I'm hanging in there. I'm working a lot. Too much probably. But I still really like it.

I managed to wash my passport in the laundry. Yes, it was ruined. So I had to get another one. I sent off for it about three weeks ago - expedited. This morning, I heard a report that even with expedited requests from Congress, people were still waiting 10 weeks!!! HOLY CRAP!!! And then wonder of wonders, miracles of miracles, it came in the mail today!!! YIPEEE!!! I'm not grounded any more!!!

And so it goes... like sand through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives... What ever that means.

Must go,

TTFN
