You may have noticed that the scope of the blog has broadened a bit, particularly over the last month or two. I just wanted to tell you that was by design, and partially in response to some of the more common inquiries that we get. The other reason is that our lives, as a family, tend to get a lot more complicated around this time, even under the best of circumstances.

How is Sandy doing? How are the girls? Are they swimming for the Sharks this summer? Is lacrosse season over? Will, are you still coaching? What makes Teflon stick to the pan?

Just kidding about the last one. Most of you appreciate just how slammed we are during this time of year under normal circumstances. You can rest assured that we have managed to maintain the same frenetic pace this year, as well!

Perhaps some of the stories and information we share here will help you to see a more complete picture of how we are doing collectively.

Finally, I want to encourage everyone who reads this blog and has a story to share, to take the time to write it and send it to me at wlh29@comcast.net. It does not have to be long or detailed or impressive, and no one will critique your writing. There are relatives out there who remember stories about Sandy as a little girl, friends from college who must remember her doing something questionable during those years, and adult friends who have been with us through the formation and maturation of our families. These are really great stories. I can't think of a better forum and I can tell you that everyone, including Sandy and I, would appreciate hearing them.

Let's "Nike" the blog. Just do it.
