Hello Friends & Family

First a big hello to everyone and many thanks for all your thoughts, prayers, text messages and well-wishes. I'll admit the idea of blogging makes me nauseous. I've always seen blah blah blagghing as the self-indulgent rantings of the young and mighty self-entitled GenY'ers. "Oh my God, I've been an assistant for twenty minutes. When am I going to get to be the boss! This is so uncool. It's all good, though." But while me and all my GenX friends fight our way through therapy and the travails of being the generation who raised ourselves poorly, why not join in and jump on the blog train. Besides, I find that I am answering a lot of emails and repeating myself like an old woman....wondering, did I already tell this person about our stop in Mulege or was that my mom I emailed? So I'll warn you: pieces of your emails may find their way on to this blog...but only the impersonal Mexico parts that try to answer a repeated question. More to follow on where and why I'm here. In the meantime and hello and much love.
