Sophie had her first real day of school yesterday, AND IT WENT WELL. It's a giant high school in the middle of Los Angeles, and she's in a rather large class of kids and young adults with various "issues," but we know several of them from her old elementary school, the teacher is a very cool guy, and Sophie's new aide seems terrific.
Whew. Can we all just wipe the sweat off our brows, breathe a sigh of relief and offer up thanksgiving? Hallelujah!

I'm going to be speaking about epilepsy and the upcoming Epilepsy Freedom Walk on a radio talk show this morning. The broadcast is called The Conner Bubble, recorded out of Pasadena City College. It's a call-in show, so if you're interested you can listen on Lancer Radio, 88.9 on the FM dial. The show is from 12:00 PM -- 12:28 PM Pacific Time. Here's some more info:
Call-in Telephone Number: 1-626-585-7227 -- Call me with a question!
Live webcast: www.lancerradio.org (I have no idea how these things work, but I'm assuming you can actually listen online! These here internets are amazing...)
Fingers crossed for Sophie's new school.
