Murph Is Home

Went to see Murph tonight, his nephew and son brought him home last evening. He gets around pretty good, but is definitely hurting and will need months to heal wearing his custom body brace while spending most of his time laying down. He checked himself out of the hospital a day early so he could get back. It was so good to see him. Keep thinking good thoughts for his recuperation!

Happy 50th Sean

We'll be doing a bit of celebrating tonight for Sean's 50th birthday. Have a great one!

Get Well Murph

My buddy Murph had a pretty bad accident on Father's Day. He was working with his son at his brother's mountain cabin in northern Pennsylvania and took a nasty fall of the roof. I hear he has numerous broken ribs, a punctured lung and a cracked vertebrae. His prognosis is good, but he's still in ICU in a hospital in Elmira, NY (somewhere around 5 hours from Wilmington) and can't yet take phone calls. It's expected to take months for him to recover fully. Keep him in your thoughts!!

New Home

I moved into the new co-op yesterday. LOVE IT!! Still have a lot of work to do unpacking and all, but couldn't be more thrilled. Wanted to hire Murph to paint the place, he does that for a living. He wouldn't hear of it. Doc works with him sometimes and also joined in on this job, as did Murph's son Josh. They worked long and hard and the paint job is great!! They won't take any payment for it, but they definitely deserve it. What good friends. My brother Jon did spectacular drywall work prior to painting, also for no charge. Manny stripped a wall of it's wallpaper for me with his steamer (free of charge as well). We now call him Manley Steamer. It felt like home here the minute the movers were done. I am one lucky human being. That's why I moved back to DE, family and friends mean everything!

UPDATE 10:30pm: The webcam is now working. It shows some of the mess that needs unpacking.
