>Life sure can throw some hard balls. I wish I were a good catcher, but my reaction is to cover my head and duck! Everybody’s health seems so fragile these days. I’m not going to talk about it here, but it’s a hurdle. Then there are the many joys of my volunteer jobs, which are great when everything runs smoothly and everyone is happy.
