Peter-
Funny you should mention Mark McGinley- I saw him on the streets of Middlebury yesterday. Did not get to talk to him- just honked.
Grandma Ann - I read that book - also have read the second one. I have a copy when you need it.
Gradsie - Not lovin' the 4:00am thing. If you keep doing scary things my prayers are just going to have to get longer- so you know what that means - your mama will never get to sleep at night which translates into being cranky in the morning , which means I won't be at my best at work, which means........ so in other words watch out, take care and don't tell me all the details of your NYC life!!! It was so much easier when mama could sit you on the couch and tell you three to not move and be safe while I went quickly up to Pratt's store!! I always knew where to find you. Now of course, you know mama is partially kidding. I couldn't be happier for you. NYC was just what you needed.
