Well, H and S11 are back from their trip! It is great to see my H - I showed up at the airport wearing a stunning new sundress and you should have seen his eyes light up - but also worrisome because the signs of depression are so obvious. He really needs to get started back on antidepressants - I will make sure that happens this week. Big article in our local paper about physicians and depression, including a picture of guy my H knew who committed suicide a few years ago

He and I and our D12 went to the beach yesterday afternoon - I showed off my surfing progress to my H, since I had surfed 5 days while he was gone. I am a slow but steady learner - still paddling in the whitewater, but now able to stand up every time and with much better balance and control of the board. Then H and daughter went paddling (since surf was small) and paddled almost 1 1/2 miles up the beach - my daughter is so strong!

Well, I have to get S11 off to his surf camp this morning, then it's to the gym with S16 to do our leg workout.
