You're not alone, Pat. That's exactly what former First Lady Barbara Bush was heard quoted saying a few months ago. Continuous thoughts are with you and your son's situation in hopes it all turns out for the best. Hang in there! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/tiedye.gif" width=17 height=17>

Blundervibes continuing in your direction and your son's direction.

Sometimes the hardest-learned lessons are the most valuable. My wish for your son is wisdom. My wish for you is peace of mind.

Sending lots of vibes!

Continued blundervibes to you, your family, and your son ... and what Wyld said.

Pat, don't forget to take care of YOURSELF too. Promise me you'll take just 20 minutes ... turn off the phone, grab your favorite book and a glass of wine or some nice herbal tea, fill the tub with some wonderful bath salts and RELAX.

Hope things go better for you & your son.<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/peace.gif" width=16 height=16>

Thanks everyone!! My home computer is a bit fried, and I won't be at work for a few days--I'm taking a nice relaxing trip with my older daughter--we're going apartment hunting (for her) in the Baltimore area. I know the blundervibes are working, and I appreciate all of you more than I can say. I'll talk to you again soon. <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/tiedye.gif" width=17 height=17>

Good luck with the partment hunting! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

Hang in there, Pat. youthful transgressions become the grist of "storytelling" later, in life, just ask Arlo...
all the best to you & your son

Gosh, Bumper, when you put it that way...maybe I'd better buy him a guitar! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

We found my daugher a nice apartment in a good area, so that's one sigh of relief. Plus, we had a great week-end together, AND I got tickets for Arlo's November concert in Annapolis so I have an excuse to visit her again. Things are looking up, and thanks all of you for your concern! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/tiedye.gif" width=17 height=17>

Glad things worked out for ya with your daughters apt. If you come to the Birchmere in Alexandria, Va in you can squeeze in 2 nites worth of gigs around a visit to your daughters! Have fun at Annapolis! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

Pat, we all do things in life that we may regret, but sometimes those things that seem to get us into a bit of trouble really turn out to do something good for us. I'm sure things will work out for your son, and I'm sending many blundervibes your way. Hang in there with him. On the upside, it's nice to hear you had a good time with your daughter and found her a nice place. Sending you happy thoughts!
