A lot has happened this week but I have not had a lot of energy to archive it all here. I suppose losing Danni took a lot of energy and life out of me. I find myself thinking about Dolly and David and everything that they have been through. How do you go on? How could life ever be the same? So beautiful. So full of life. So dear. She will forever be with me just as Christoper is with me.

I finally sucked it up and got the house painted this week. All said, I am glad that I had the work done and I think they did a pretty good job. They painted the shutters, windows, and all of the iron work outside the house and although it did not look bad, the improvement is really noticeable. That is the last time I hope to paint the house for a long time.

Barrington was in town again this week and I got a chance to spend a good bit of time with him, Juan and Holly. They all came in on Tuesday and I was able to meet them for a moment that afternoon. Barrington was awarded the key to the city by the Mayor at the City Council meeting. It is amazing what this guy is achieving. I caught up to them again on Thursday and it became clear very quickly that they were very interested in what I could do for them. I hope that I can do a lot but I think that most of what I can do is putting them in front of the right people. I am very fortunate in that I have connections to many people of influence - hopefully this will come through. At the end of they day they really need an angel investor so they can hire staff and fund G&A for the foundation.

Rene headed off to college. I remember when he was born.
