Wheat, Chaff, Circled Wagons

It's been tough around here lately, folks, a hell of a ride. As we make huge transitions, we are learning who our friends are for sure. And it's a painful process, like trying to navigate a field full of rakes. Every now and then, THWACK! And shock, pain, and tears form momentarily. But we pull together and the circle gets smaller. We are tough, my family and friends and we'll make it through, I believe. But we have paid a dear price and have the scars to prove it.

I realize I'm being vague. I'll tell you more later. I'm on my way to Cleveland for a work related romp. I should have time to fill in the blanks.

I look forward to catching up with you. Take care and wish me luck. I'm gonna need all I can get.
