I once counseled a friend to take time to think. I was ridiculed for such an offering. Having no time to think themselves - the others in the room thought it a humourus thing to suggest. They have no idea of the impact that night has had on my life.

Remember "Life Goes On"?

It's finally Spring here in Cincinnati. The warmth of the sun and the longer days make everything easier. Maurie and I are doing very well. We are still having our little girl in July - Riley Jo Hanauer. Meanwhile, we are heading for vacation next week, Maurie's brother Ben is back from Bolivia for a bit and life is marching on. The Church is a struggle and I wish I could move on most days. Jason and I are cutting lawns again this year and I might go back to work for Cheviot FD when Riley comes. Kurt Vonnegut died earlier in the month - so it goes. James D. Craig died 8 years ago yesterday - now I only remember on that day and whenever something major is going on in my life - graduation, marriage, buying a house, having a kid - so it goes.

I didn't want this to be melancholy. Life is well.
