I have a feeling of some sort of return to 'normality' at the moment.  Joey is doing well and we do not dread getting an email or call from the school.  We have dropped looking to buy a house.  Hurricane Sandy is receding into memory, at least for us.  I have had some good news re the Bioeconomy Institute project (Shell are interested in supporting) .  Anne is more relaxed.  I am back in the gym.  We are less stressed and drinking less.  Things are looking up.
