IMG_0013, originally uploaded by kevdonahue. That’s Pete with his (second) cousin Tommy. We were all in Hazlet, at the Stansfields, on July 3. All had a good time. My nephew Nick did the most amazing victory dance after winning a yard game, but I’m not sure the world is ready to see it. Photos from…

105_0252, originally uploaded by kevdonahue. Virginia’s showing off our first cherry tomatoes of 2010. Which is great, because it’s getting ungodly hot (100-plus) for the first half of the week and none of us can remember the last time it rained nor when it’s supposed to rain next. Also, we have a groundhog trying desperately…

Virginia and I caught Solitary Man at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute. A woman from the Institute spoke to us before the film started and said we’d see Michael Douglas “as we’d never seen him before” and then we watched the same ol’ Michael Douglas playing the same ol’ role. It was Gordon Gekko after…

Kelly was discharged from Children’s Hospital (above) about 2:30 pm Saturday, after 10 days there. He’s feeling much better than when we arrived, and we’ve got a plan moving forward. For the rest of the weekend, we’ll work on getting him stronger and ready for life outside the hospital, otherwise known as “the real world.”

The Donahue Clan post-reception, originally uploaded by kevdonahue. This is the last photo I have of my dad out and about, here at Billy and Sandy Curth’s wedding in January. It’s a good-looking crew, don’t you think?

Those aren’t real stars to the right, though they are the ones we’ve seen way more than the real version over the past nine days and nights. They’re what you see when you look up while riding the main elevators at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Finally, it seems we’ll be out—for real—on Saturday morning. The…

Was listening to a talk by the Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh where he explained that we are like trees—our emotions are the top of the tree, the leaves and branches, blown about by the wind. But that is not all there is to the tree. Even in a storm, look at the trunk. Strong…

I’m not exactly sure, because we haven’t seen one in a while, but I believe that’s a smile on Kelly’s face. And that’s a strawberry milkshake in his left hand. The two are related, I think. It also helps that after a very rough 24 hours, Kelly’s got this hospital visit’s colonoscopy in his rearview…
