Have you given up on me?
Austin and William hosted a wonderful Fish Fry at the end of July. Graeme was here for Camp DC and Lenore and my parents came for the event.
We had a wonderfully special dinner the night before with Woody and Patrick at Bibiana Osteria-Enoteca, an Italian restaurant downtown. Word got out that I had a recent birthday and I was surprised by a fancy dessert. I can't remember if the waiters sang or not.
Austin's Fish fry was
fun. Tracy's son and his family, Ellen and Sam,
Mark and Allen, Earnest and Pam, Craig were there
for the great food and fun.

Shortly after this
party Kevin's seizures became more frequent and
he had to be hospitalized. He is currently in a
coma. The family is as hopeful as possible. It is
truly heartbreaking. We are keeping Kevin in our
thought and prayers.
