  Hi Into Blue   :^)

     What happened to Wendy is finally making its way through upper management of the company she works for
to the point where she got a personal phone call today from the medical director.  He's the top dog just below the CEO.  
He asked her what happened and she explained the whole event blow by blow.  He was both stunned and embarresed
for both her and the company... enough so, that he was taking this to the top and wanted her to send all coorapondences
on what had transpired both before and after the event.  This may actually serve as a catalyst to change a weak aspect
of the company itself.  It's a non-profit health care insurance company that serves the poor population of Wa. state. (a person
has to be 400 percent below the poverty level to be eligible for this insurance.)  So it's in the best interest of the people it
serves, for the company to be on top of things in order to better address those in need.  She's feeling much better now that
she knows that this isn't being swept under the rug, and that her discomfort may actually accomplish some good.

    And what a crazy day.... as I had posted you about earlier in PM.  Even now when I sat down to write this my daughter just called...  :^)
  I enjoy hearing from her and my son since in some ways I double as something of both mom and dad... I was a stay-at-home dad
with them for about 8 (?) years.  We homeschooled them both so we were around each other continuously for that time.  
Our connections are almost seamless.... so our conversations are often a continuation of the last one.  The four of us, Wendy my
son and daughter are all best friends... as well as father husband wife and children (well... young adults  :^)  so when somethings
going on in their lives they often think of us first... and of course we're always there for them... and yet they're incredibly independent.
Both are solid as a rock... not needy at all... in fact my daughter gets tense with us when we offer her money.... even though she's going
to school full time and has a full time job..... My son installs fiber optic cables and is heading off to Ohio shortly to lay down 500 miles,
with another job right behind it in New Mexico laying another 300 miles..... over the last couple of years he's set down fiber for months
at a time in Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Western Washington... and Alaska for a whole summer.  He gets around...  :^)

    So it's really not much of a problem when they call.... I'm in awe of who each one of them are!! Only I don't get a whole lot done on the
house when they do...!    :^))
