Well, just as I had decided I could relax a bit about being deployed since they had not deployed anyone from my hospital since before hurricane Rita hit Texas -- they started deploying people again today. One guy got only a few hours' notice. I made the mistake of telling Dan about that, and he was less than pleased to say the least.  Well he has been less than pleased about the whole possibility of my possibly being deployed, and it also worries the kids. But what can you do? In the face of such suffering, how can you not be willing to act?

The high school soccer team is state ranked!!!!!  When Bill was a freshman they did not win a single game. Not one! So they have come a long, long way in four years!
