An Unbelievable Day Today

Ladies & Gentlemen:

Please forgive me for my lack of Posts today. As many of you know, my Mother has been diagnosed with cancer and just recently returned home from the Hospital. My Aunt took the Train down from Up-State New York to come spend some quality time with her Sister.

This morning I received an emergency call from my Sister telling me that my Aunt was sitting in the dining room reading a book and out of nowhere she simply fell over and fell to the floor. Mom tried waking her and she was not responsive and had to call 911 and have my Aunt rushed to the very same Hospital my Mother had just been released from.

Now there was no one at home for Mom and no one at the Hospital for my visiting Aunt. I had to drop everything and immediately take off for Annapolis. Thanks to one of our Contributors, comments went up throughout the day and night until my recent return.

My Aunt was released from the Hospital and will take a Train back to New York to see a cardiologist for additional tests. So it's been one heck of a day and now I have returned to some 400 e-mail messages to sift through.

I may get off to a slow start in the morning but there's lots to share and clearly a whole lot of catch up work to do. Thanks for understanding and we'll see you tomorrow.
