It has been two weeks since I last wrote, which may well be
the longest gap I have had since starting to blog almost three years ago. Although
it had taken me a number of days to get into the groove of St. John this year,
by the end the trip seemed far too brief. Although we were sad to see the trip
end, we were anxious to return to New York and Boston and our homes and family
there.
We flew back to Boston on Thursday February 5th and
fortunately had some time with both daughters’ families over Sabbath. But by
Sunday, when we headed back to New York, neither of us was feeling well, and we
spent the following week almost completely unable to do anything at all. As I
am finally starting to come back around I have discovered that we are not the
only folks struggling with some nasty viruses. We have been back in New York
for 9 days and I have yet to walk out the front door.
I have a list of topics about which I plan to write. But for
today, I am just going to share two things.
Thanks to our daughter Simmie for sharing this first item with us. It would be funny but I fear most Boston area residents are having a hard time laughing at this point.
The second item was one we just happened to catch on the CBS Nightly News broadcast yesterday. We lived in Sharon, MA from the summer of 1986 until the spring of 1991. During that time there was a young couple with whom we were friends. They later divorced and we largely fell out of touch with them over the years since. Elizabeth went to medical school and has now also embarked on a career in local politics. The name and face were quite familiar the minute we saw this piece. Now I just need to figure out how to get back in touch with her.

Stay warm!
