Quote of the day, J. Allen

"One must never forget when misfortunes come that it is quite possible they are saving one from something much worse; or that when you make some great mistake, it may very easily serve you better than the best-advised decision. Life is a whole, and luck is a whole, and no part of them can be separated from the rest."

Funny, I think of his wisdom and insight often....and I never met the guy.

I hope his wife is dealing with his passing well.

I have been in regular contact with Martine and she is doing well, as well as can be expected

she has been thinking about leaving the New Braunfels area and relocating to the DFW area but those plans have been put on hold for a bit as she is helping with the car of Jim's brother who is also quite ill
