Sorry about the break

Back from various trips, it must be summer. Summer here in the Midwest means cramming 12 months activities into 3 months of hot weather. There are two seasons here, winter and road construction. Road construction begins when the thaw sets in and ends when everything freezes. The highlight of the summer is the State Fair in St Paul. Here you can buy most things on a stick (Homer Simpson would love it). I ate my biggest ever turkey leg here, it was as big as a small chicken.
Anyway, the weather has been so hot it hasn't been funny, over 90 degrees F for weeks, with high humididty, which is the real killer. Add that to severe thunderstorms of Biblical proportions, up to 3 inches of rain an hour, power outages dur to fried lines (300,000 households out for two days after one storm), trees down, flooding, bear attacks, golf ball sized hailstones, wall to wall mosquitoes, forest fires- it's been a quiest summer, we normally have tornadoes as well.
I was happy to go to a conference in Michigan last week, where I mixed with fellow sojourners on the journey to wholeness, and a wide variety of therapists, doctors, and prayer counsellors. We had a great time and I was sad to come home ans back to work. I do feel renewed in my mind, so i'm quite excited. I worked on some interesting exercises to activate all parts of the brain, which is a new experience for me. I hope it's a lasting change.
