Sunday, October 1st, 2017 Richmond, Virginia Health update
So where do we stand now?Here is the capsule summary of where we stand right now:
On the positive side, I haven't felt better all year! Go figure.
Kids on the moveAll four of our kids are currently professionally displaced for one reason or another:
BooksI've knocked off a few books in the intervening month. They were:
TidbitThis past month has also been a busy one for crossword puzzles. In the past, I've always enjoyed doing them (for example, if I saw a half-finished puzzle lying on a coffee table) but it is only recently that I've switched into daily mode. Each day I do the puzzle from either The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times. On more ambitious days, I do both! When doing these puzzles, you can't help but pick up new words, but not necessarily words that you will ever have the opportunity to use in everyday speech or even writing. Case in point: a recent clue was simply Stage direction and the answer was... Exeunt is borrowed from Latin, the third-person plural present indicative (yikes) of the verb exire, which translates as "to go out" or "to leave." When I run across words and explanations like these, my response is always the same:

In my desperate attempt to find some positive news in your latest post, other than the good review of the Billy Crystal book, I will take some comfort in knowing that at least one Notre Dame alum does not have cirrhosis of the liver. Thank you for that.

Oh, Josh. So good to hear from you. All the kids are incredible and so good to hear what they are doing. Such energy and enthusiasm. I am glad to hear that you feel better than you have but am concerned for what might be forthcoming in experimental sources and also hopeful. You and Alison have been through so much. I think you are back in Richmond from your map. We just got back from Maine tonight and you know how long that trip is. Would also love to see you both. We are headed to Spain in a few weeks (always traveling when countries are in flux). Love to you and Alison.

You'd think that the word exit as in exit right would suffice! Gees! Thinking of you lots lately....even though health protocols have stalled for now, I pray that there will be something that your team of doctors can figure out...I am happy to hear you are feeling well and have the stamina to read...Love you and Alison lots....You are a super hero in my book. (I'd love to visit soon!)

A client recommended “a gentleman in Mosco” by Amor Towle’s. I haven’t read it yet, but she is a wordsmith, and highly enjoyed it. I hope you are feeling better Josh, and continue to stay at the top of the refrigerator list.

Hi There Josh and Alison... I miss you much and I am so glad to hear that you have been feeling good lately. I have been thinking about you both. This fall season reminds me of our hike to Cold Mountain with the dogs... what a wonderful day that was, and you first introduced me to Bill Bryson's book A Walk in the Woods. I'm not an avid reader of his works like you are but that has to be one of his best... so humorous and I found myself laughing out loud. :)
