58 Days Home and Looking Up

It seems that the Prednisone may be helping John's stomach. At least, the symptoms haven't returned in the four days since he started back on the drug. We had a nice steak meal last night and John "stomached" it well. If that continues, he should be able to benefit from a low dose, which could be temporary and would not be as likely to cause the side effects that can happen. I do think his mood is better, without having to fear eating. Hmm, I could use that diet - "food-o-phobia".

Debbie and I are going to take a quick trip to Santa Fe for her birthday this weekend. It should be fun, and the timing looks good from John's standpoint and state. It's been close to a year since we got to take a day or two "off." These couple of days will be in boots, jeans and a cowboy hat - our Halloween costumes. No doubt, John will have his own Halloween party while we are away.

In the next six weeks, I will be giving seminar presentations on "peer-to-peer file sharing", "compliance with the new FCC rules on interception of new forms of communication", "disaster preparedness and response" and "first legal aid for hurricane victims." I feel like Ed Helms from the Daily Show - designated expert on the topic of the day. Needless to say, I'm learning some new stuff in a hurry. There may also be a national conference on housing assistance for hurricane victims that Debbie and I might attend. With Wilma now and Alpha still out there, the need certainly is great and growing.

That's pretty much about it for now.
