Here is a picture from the Gautier Convention Center today, where I worked a United Way event with our county CASA director, Frances. CASA is a family event for her, and her invaluable (and most impressive) daughter, Katie, was there as always to help her mom. They make quite a team.

Outside of that enjoyable event, today was sort of a dark, introspective sort of day. However, tonight I had a long, long, long, long, long talk with my wife, and it turned out to be one of our best talks of all time. Isn’t this the way things are supposed to work? Turn to your closest friend for the support you need? It sure worked tonight, and the world is suddenly a brighter place.
