Nisi, I, too, am glad that Patrick is going to be able to participate in the
Staten Island procedure.
You said a 10-12 hour drive.. where do you live?
Also, just curious, what kind of business do you have? Hope you have lots
of help at this time, so you can stay more at Staten Island. I am sorry
that Patrick has been so sick lately... hope everything gets better, TODAY!.
I think - sometimes we have to look for the sun, but it is still there.
A big cyber-hug to you!!
Take Care,
Gwen Kouts
