While visiting her sister Lorraine and brother-in-law Dan in Yonkers, Pat had a Friday the 13th mishap - a fall on an indoor staircase that left her with a very sore back. Fortunately there were no fractures or other serious injuries, but she'll need need some time to get back on her feet.
Update as of 2/22: Pat has been transferred from St. John's Riverside Hospital to Riverside's physical therapy facility in Yonkers. If you'd like to say hello, the best way to reach her is on her cell phone. (If you'd like the number you can e-mail us for it.)
Back home in Saratoga, Pat says, it's been a very wintry winter, and snow is piled up about 3 feet high. Daughter Mary and her family lost electric power for a couple of days during a December ice storm.
Other updates from the North Country: Mary and Brennan's daughter Brienna is a student at SUNY-Plattsburgh's branch campus in Queensbury, N.Y. ... their son Brennan is a sophmore at Saratoga Central Catholic High School, where he plays center on the basketball team ... youngest Shannon, now 10, is on the Y swim team (which Mary coaches) and in a snow-shoe club at school.
