Very nice words to that hymn. I thought of you often last Monday w/ your chemo stuff. One such thought occured when reading the New York Times Metropolitan Diary which appears every Monday. It is a collection of short reader-submitted New York City anecdotes and observations.

From reader John F. Gruber came the following.

A Rare Performance

The wind dances
With gnarled branches.
I gaze at a ballet
That is entrancing.
They never attended
A school of dancing.

“Connie would like that,” I thought. So, here ’tis.

Susan and I enjoyed your comment about Alphie in the big city. A little “urban action” is what he clearly needs. We also appreciated your “you can come along” communication w/ Alphie. For us, and our departed terrier, Booker, all is took was an “OK!” from us to send him jumping because he then knew he could come along.

Know that you people (and dog!) remain in our thoughts and prayers.

warmest best,

dick and susan gale

When I was working at Children’s Hospital, we also had a tornado warning. We had to take all the kids to a inner work area for quite some time. The teenage African-American boy I was working with had sustained a head injury which can sometimes make for interesting conversations due to impaired judgement and impulsivity! After we got the “all clear” he pronounced “Thank the Lord we are free again!”

Best wishes on your next couple weeks! Your strength is amazing!
Peace, Susan
