What a day

OK, for all of you who are interested, I have lost 9 pounds. Curbed my intake of Coke (yes I saw the email about the other uses for Coke so don't send it to me). Drinking more water. Some exercise. Superior attitude and intellect.

For other info: yesterday Claire and Matt's house burned. They are OK. Suspect a malfunction in the dryer. The utility room is a total loss and the kitchen and their bedroom were heavily damaged, as they are on opposite sides of the utility room. We helped them take most everything salvageable out of the house last night. They will lose some stuff but most of their clothes and keepsakes just got wet. We will help them wash all of their clothes today and clean up the stuff we can save. The camp manager is talking about putting them in an apartment until the house can be replaced. We will let you know more as we do.
