Joe and Betty are grateful for their new air conditioning unit this week when the temps are in the 90's. Joe is doing summer school counseling one day per week. His Catapult Learning job continues to support his "retirement."
Betty's Loop and home office sessions continue this summer. Addiction treatment and recovery work support her gardening and music loves.
Joe and Betty celebrate 40 years of marriage this summer. They leave Chicago for a UK vacation in London and Edinburgh. They return for the wedding of nephew Vince and his Jennifer. Daughter Grace is finishing her internship for her DPT; she is also singing at the aforementioned wedding. She and her Hugh are planning their next moves: his grad school, her new job, their new location, etc.
Joe suffers with the White Sox but enjoys his golf with good friends.
Joe and Betty are supporting old friend Toni Preckwinkle for Cook County Board President. They continue to pray for neighbor Barack Obama, for obvious reasons.

MeetAdamandSteve
My son-in-fact, "de facto," Hugh Yeman has invited me to follow his new blog.
Hey, Hugh. This is a very good way to use the net to fight discrimination and prejudice.
I am not much of a blogger, but I agree with your project. In fact, I judge churches and religions by how they welcome, shun, or attack gays. The minister at the wedding was representing an institutional hatred that is far more dangerous and violent than an individual saying "faggot."
The proper response is to get up and leave.

Adopted Cat
Betty and I have adopted our foster cat. She is called "Bootsie" and still prefers to stay in our basement. She comes up when Squeaky is away.
Both cats spend time together in Bootsie's digs in the basement. Bootsie has been to the vet, got her shots, been declared healthy and spayed with no chip. She now has a rhinestone studded collar and a nametag.
We expect further progress in the two-cat relationship.

We found this cat under our porch and are fostering it until the owner contacts us or someone recognizes the cat and contacts us. She is comfortable in our basement. Our own cat, Squeaky, is curious.
We have had no hits as yet. Perhaps a student on break is the owner. Today is New Year's Eve. Happy New Year to all!
