To the extent that we might have been hurting these children it's only been for a short period of time.

I sometimes heard the parents of Michel's playmates sigh about how, after a busy day, they really needed "a moment to themselves." The children were in bed at last, and then came the magic moment, and not a minute earlier. I've always thought that was strange, because for me that moment began much earlier. When Michel came home from school, for example, and everything was as it should be.

I have some good pictures from our team camps. We used to have a really good time back then. I won't tell you about them, but I could probably sell the pictures.

I just let myself get frustrated and that's the first time I've done that this year. Hopefully it's the last because it really threw me out of my game.

That's when Suffolk passed the law, and we did it to be in compliance with the law.

This is an important first step in leveling the playing field, and establishes an environment for continued communication.
