The quest for coffee

Hi everyone:

Here's the latest in a long line of photographs that are flattering to my wife -- heh, heh, heh. Patty expressed some agitation that I was taking pictures of her, so I had few images to choose from this morning. Hence, this little gem you're enjoying right now.

Patty started her morning with some vomiting, and is generally feeling rough today. Her sister MaryBeth is visiting, which seems to be boosting Patty's energy. MB has been unbelievably helpful to Patty through the past few months. She has helped Patty and I with everything from health insurance to hostas, and pretty much anything in between. On top of this, Patty usually calls MaryBeth with our toughest kid issues.

There's not much else going on today. I'm working on some website banners for a client, and need to run an errand to replace a coffeemaker; add this to the long list of things that seem to be falling apart. I'm not kidding when I say it seems like we're jinxed at times. Since coffee seems to be one of the few joys Patty can enjoy each day, this errand is a bit of a priority.

Love,
Brian
