Here We Go Again--The Start of a New School Year.

Back-to-school is always an exciting time for us.  For Emmy, it's first grade. Ethan begins fourth.  Stephanie returns as her school's reading teacher and Jay as social studies teacher/basketball coach.

And for the first time in thirty-eight years, Alice finds herself in September without a kindergarten class. This should be interesting.  

Lauren and Eric visited Ethan at sleep-away camp and Emmy camped nearby at Coleman.  Alice and I will soon set sail from Athens to Rome aboard the Windstar, spending time at the Amalfi Coast before returning in time for the re-election of Barack Obama.

Jolie is turning 1 1/2 years (hard to believe).  Marvin's softball team has been knocked out of the playoffs (not so hard to believe). At the Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame, Alice bought a sign for me that hangs in our porch suggesting the real meaning of life:

                    Life is a game. Softball is serious.

Grandpa Simon has settled in at Gurwin Assisted Living and just dropped by for Rosh Hashanah dinner. Len Steinman for State Supreme Court!

All are happy and healthy. Wishing the same for you and yours throughout 5773.
