Today, Dagan & Aurora were diagnosed with CRF (Chronic Renal Failure), aka Kidney Failure. They eat different food, have very different medical histories and kidney trouble is not contagious.

I am getting tired, but decided to recap some recent thoughts and events… This past weekend was the party at the Polk Street Palace (my friends’ house in Sylmar). It was so much fun! I was in the hot tub for hours, and it was freezing out too! Lots of great conversations and relaxation to …

A friend of mine, who works at a horticultural center in South Florida, sent this email to me today: “I wanted to pass along a conversation we had in the lunchroom last week.
