That's right, Andrea! Connie and i were laughing about how they could even wait until Martin Lither King , Jr. day which is mid-January, then there's Valentine's Day, Presidents; Day, we could add on all kinds of special celebratory dates for this!

I forgot to tell you all the most important thing! Tris wanted to stay home alone and so Karen let him and it was so fine, they are doing it again, whilst she is at work over this night. He called her on his ipod in the morning and told her he slept really well and the dog and cat kept him company, plus he knows how to make peanut butter and jelly toast, so all things were right in his world, other than Pat not being there, etc. This was another one of those BIG steps Pat and Karen have helped a remarkable young man, who was to have been a "throwaway" kid, accomplish. Congrats to them all, including brother Michael!
