I loved it! Today, Lizzie reported from her kindergarten class that a boy said, "I don't have no snack" instead of "I don't have any snack." I am proud to have raised a little grammar policewoman. Of course, Dave asked, "Well, did you share your snack with the boy?" He didn't get the point of her story at all ... or did he?! Ed,

I even tried his chocolate cure; last night, I polished off a king-sized Hershey bar while watching junk TV (if you must know, it was Wife Swap; Dave and I joke about some out-of-shape couple switching lives with us - all that running they’d have to do, god!). But enough is enough. I’m ready to get back to work. [...] [...] The good therapy Eric writes of has helped.

I also directed readers to your post as well and several friends of mine commented about it as we talked over the phone. It hit home with more people than you might think. Thanks for putting it out there. Joan - I didn’t comment - I went ahead and wrote a very similar post in terms of emotional content ( http://ed_roth.blogspot.com ).

But I had commented a bit recently and didn't want to clog up your space too much. You'll get through this . . . pain seems woven tightly into the definition of family, and we all get our share (with an asterisk -- see opening line of Anna Karenina). But I think you've already reached for good therapy: good books and long runs. The only thing you left out was chocolate. If you were out here, we'd be happy to drag you out for sixteen miles or so of therapy (running as slow as we do would annoy you sufficiently to take your mind off anything). Hang in there. Rage and scream when you need to. -- Your Seattle fans No worries, we’ve been reading and paying attention. But I had commented a bit recently and didn’t want to clog up your space too much.
