Just putting in a post to say it has been excellent in recent weeks to see Toby and his family, Peters and his family, and Ned and his family. It was also emotional to me at last to bring our boys up to Coronado Heights. I see some hollowness in them already…

Any chance Peters or Toby will be available for some catch-up time Saturday or Sunday? Sara and I have decided that we are going to hear Jerry Bowen at the Bretheren church on Sunday morning.
Who are you talking to? she asks, the room empty.

It looks as though I will likely be in McPee for the 20 year reunion. Sara has been talking to Jantz who will be there so let me know what’s going on. I’d much rather sit around with all of you than with a few classmates I don’t know so well. Toby, you’d better show up, powder blue suit or not.
And here’s another actual music video that’s really got some fun animation/live action combinations.
A new
by a band called, Of Monsters and Men. How am I not supposed to like these lyrics.“The wolf, the wolf and I
We share the same cold meal.
I float on, I float on down.
We ride, we ride, we ride,
We ride it all out.
Alone, I fight these animals.
Alone, until I get home.”
I started a blog. Here’s the link.
I am sure those of you in the know have already stumbled on Gotye, if not check it out on Youtube. I recommend “heart’s a mess” and “somebody that I used to know”. Think Peter Gabriel and Sting had a love child raised on Pink Floyd and Deathcab for Cutie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnXFJOXvL_A
This video from an up and coming Brooklyn band amuses me.
Check it out. The Hobbit Trailer.
Nice to turn some thoughts away from the hospital for a moment to muse on you all and our Thanksgiving tradition. I trust you all have much to be thankful for, and that the holiday is great.
We are doing well the last two days, and are now out of the ICU. Today, the last of Griffin’s various tubes and wires came off, so it feels monumental and freeing. We may be discharged as soon as Friday, it sounds like. So, indeed, we are thankful and glad, and have appreciated all your friendship and support and good thoughts and words. The last weeks, and especially the last two weeks, have been hard ones.
In so many ways this has been an extraordinary year, and as the holidays approach and take us in, I hope to muse on that with you all soon.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I know Jeff is going through a tough time with Griffin right now, and I know many of us are preoccupied with parenthood and other things, but Sara and I watched this on PBS, and I think it’s well worth the fifty-odd minutes it takes to watch it, if you haven’t. Here’s the link.
