I didn’t go into the office today, and it’s probably a good thing, too, because my mind wasn’t focused on work today.
On April 6, 2003, my 15 year old son Turner, celebrated three years of life following a heart transplant. Each April he goes in for an annual examination where he is poked and prodded to see how things are going. We (Turner, his mother, and me) just completed the two day annual exam today. I am very happy to say that the good folks at Abbott Northwestern Hospital found Turner to be in tip-top working order. His heart is in great shape and his overall health is good.
I think we ramp up the family tension and worry level the week of the annual exam, so it’s nice to put it behind us each year. It’s even nicer to say that everything went well.
Tomorrow: Back to the business of government in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
