Absence of Blog Content

Alright, this is truly boring. Two whole months have gone by and no one is writing anything on the blog. I suspect there are a variety of excuses; people have already used up a couple ("Nothing interesting happens to me" or a variation on that theme "I have nothing interesting to say"). Also, we are all busy. That said, I miss you guys, and every once in a while it would be nice to hear someone's cybervoice. It really doesn't matter WHAT you write. Just knowing there is a thread of connection would be great. Mr. Rochester once said to Jane that he imagined there was an invisible cord of communion connecting their hearts, and that if she went far away, the bond would snap and he would "take to bleeding inwardly."

In the good news category in Bloomington, Nicky Palmer was accepted by Parsons School of Design in NYC - his first choice school. Yahooie!!!

In the not so great department, I learned a couple of weeks ago that my dad has lung cancer. He is almost 84, so he and mom are trying to decide whether length or quality of life are more important. The rest of us feel it is their decision.

In other general news, Terry and I are well. Daniel has decided to do Teach for America and teach high school physics for a couple of years after he graduates from Skidmore next year. Ned is applying early decision to the School of Engineering at Cornell next year. And I will be in Seattle later this week, while Eulalie is across the wide ocean somewhere. Sigh....

Love, Lisa
