Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2007. Mattie was five years old and that weekend, I joined the boys in a rowboat on the Potomac River. Mattie actually wanted me to come along to see what he was learning. Mattie loved being on the water and Peter was teaching Mattie the art of fishing.

It was another busy day on the Farm. We are still unpacking and organizing. I know Peter feels great pressure as he is going on travel this week and wants to get some things done on the house before leaving. I decided to stop what I was doing today and take a walk with Sunny. I know how much Sunny loves his walks, even though he has free range of the backyard. Dogs apparently bond with their pet parents through walks, and because we have been so busy, our walks have been sporadic at best.
After we walked, I came back to the house and finished reassembling my desk area. Not only do I have to capture the essence of the Foundation in this on-line contest in four minutes, I need a space for my video background that represents the Foundation and doesn't look like I just moved in. Multiple challenges for sure. In any case, after organizing, I sat down at my desk for several hours composing what I wish to say on Thursday for the Take the Plunge challenge. It is hard to say it all in four minutes, plus describe a new initiative we wish to fund. Now that I have the words on paper, and for the next several days, I will work hard to become one with these words so that they flow naturally out of my mouth!
