Great news, SINS, about the shawl! Here in north Texas we could all use one, today. We had a record-shattering 12 inches of snow here yesterday!

MICHAEL UPDATE -- I just spoke with Kelly. Michael is still in the hospital (Baylor Grapevine), and they'll likely keep him there until maybe mid-week next week. He's MUCH improved, but he's still not able to hold down much food or drink (and Kelly thinks there's some difficulty swallowing going on, along with the nausea from the chemo). Anyway, he's where he need to be and being well taken care of. And he's starting to crack jokes... always a good thing. :-)

REQUEST FROM KELLY -- When I asked Kelly what they needed (money's a given, we had moved past that to more like "what can *I* do for you") she hesitated, then asked if I would just put out feelers to see if anyone has a recliner they were about to donate... If you're in the DFW metroplex and have a recliner you could part with, contact me through Michael's web page http://michaelwilliamharrison.com and we can probably figure out a way to pick up and deliver.

Cheers,
Mary Anne
