This has indeed been a very busy summer.  Personally, I coached a championship softball team, of which my daughter was the pitcher. We got to take a much, much needed vacation to a delightful cabin on East Grand Lake in Danforth, Maine. And, most importantly, spending as much time with my children as possible.
