Hey Robin,

I am so glad to meet you!  You sound like a great Mom, and your career sounds
very exciting.  I have a special place in my heart for children, as folks on
the list know, so children's museums are right up my alley.  Can I ask where
you live?  I am in Alexandria, VA (near DC) and I live for the museums here.


I'm sorry to hear that Zach has had a tough time with seizures.  Hopefully
the new meds will help.
