Tonight I went to see the Tornado Tails show that is part of the homecoming activites at her school. Each class puts on a humorous skit and the best skit (or the seniors) wins. It was very funny, I even got some of the jokes about the teachers after meeting them during back to school night earlier this week. These are the kinds of event that I never participated in when I went to high school. I'm so glad that Lindsey enjoys going to them. 9:51:15 PM

Look it's fall here in Florida the leaf changed. 9:11:39 PM

An interesting description of widowhood. I think that we spend much time trying to understand this existence in such a way that we can somehow keep an optimistic view. So that even in the deepest depths we can hold on to the hope that it someday will be better. Not only better than it is down in the depths, but the hope that someday it will be as good as it was, and maybe in some ways, even better. "The emotional devastation we feel is akin to a forest fire. It sweeps through, killing all aspects of our former life with our spouse, laying the whole zone bare, blackened and charred. Eventually, life will return. Even more lush and vibrant perhaps. But it will take time, and we will always see remnants of the old fire damage here and there, despite how much it may become overgrown with new life." "Welcome to Widda-World." 1:28:06 PM

Would you believe it?  New Kate.  Kate was one of the first things we had in common.  Cindy would tell the story of how back in college she was watching Saturday Night Live when Kate came on and sat mesmerized listening to her sing.  She was so amazed that she stayed up to watch SNL again in the central time zone on another channel.  I remember watching that same episode and thinking "what was that?".  That was really different. 7:09:45 AM
