Happy Thanksgiving to all.

A special thank you to my loving family and friends who helped me through this most difficult year. I am thankful for all your support, encouragement, and love. I could not have endured my ordeal without you. 

This simple passage from Bruce Weigl's poem, "Home," resonates with me; and in its simplicity, speaks to what is truly important in this life:


          "I didn't know I was grateful
                     for such late autumn
                          bent-up corn fields"
