[Update: my father died early this morning (Aug 8). I'm so glad I was able to be with him this past weekend. As I've mentioned in earlier entries, I've been thankful that we've had the chance to express much love over the past months. Will be away for awhile now. Thanks so much for notes I've already received. -Steve]

Won't be posting much for awhile. I'm focusing on family. My father won't be with us much longer. Thanks for your prayers and wishes.
