Happy Holidays

And Best Wishes for 2021

Just to be clear when we wished you the best for 2020 what we had is not what we had in mind. However, there have been a couple of bright spots for us. Our daughter Sarah and her husband Shaun are expecting a son to arrive in April. We are very excited about having a new member of our family and being grandparents. Shaun is still teaching Visual and Media Arts at Emerson in Boston and Sarah is working part-time travel promotion with Circle Travel.

We are also very pleased that Patrick has made great progress in his weight loss program. He also had Lasik surgery and see without well without glasses for the first time.

Roland was in physical therapy to address some weakness in his right shoulder last spring. He was doing so well and was strong enough that his therapists thought that he could so handstand! These guys thought that “age was just a number”. Unfortunately, they were wrong and Roland suffered a complete tear of the right bicep tendon. It required surgery to repair it, a brace, a cast, and 6 months of limits on the use of his arm. However, that is behind him but he still in physical therapy to strengthen it. Last year Dean and back surgery and had a year of physical activity limitations and this year was Roland’s turn. We hope that we are good for while.

One advantage of not being able to travel has been learning to appreciate our two homes.
