Namaste blog tribe I got in a huge fight with one of my sisters last week and we aren't going to talk anymore. I was upset about it, which is why I dipped out of Internetville for a few days. What's really stupid is she'll read this post and complain about it to her "friends", but she won't call to me to apologize. I guess this is one of the downsizes of our digital age. I digress. And besides, since ending up on my shrink's couch again a few...
I'm always on about learning new things, like going back to school for a third degree or learning to speak Italian. Yesterday was my first Salsa lesson!

I've been trying not to cry too much about Henry here in blog land, and also in life in general. Both are hard. Because even though I don't cry to anyone, I still cry in my head. Sometimes what you hear in your head is far more hard to process than anything you could ever articulate. However, in my lap right now - and by my side a majority hours of the day - is little Lily Peanut who has also been adjusting to one of the most horrible things we...
