This Entry Is For Katie

7 November 2002

She’s our oldest daughter and she’s been in Australia since mid-June. We miss her terribly. Her internship at a church there will end in December and she’ll be home for Christmas.

I don’t know Kevin Hartwig, but I like his weblog and I like the type of correspondence we’ve had. He’s a pastor.

Amazingly, he’s posted an entry today that reflects one of the things that Katie has seen in Australia. There is an almost incessant focus on ’the numbers.’ Kevin arrives at the right conclusion and Katie is bringing that same conclusion home with her.

By the way, Kevin suffers from migraines. I’ve heard of this all my life, but I’ve never personally known anyone who fought this battle. If any reader of mine (either of you) knows of a recommendation, send it Kevin’s way.

Good health that frees you from that type of ’distraction’ and pain gets taken for granted. I wish there were a clear and certain physiological solution for Kevin. Hey, I’m not looking for shout-at-the-moon home remedies, but if anyone knows the science and research behind these migraines, clue us in.
