I’ve got a lot to be grateful for this week:• for the guys who installed our new generator on a moment’s notice
• that we and everyone we know were spared significant damage and injuries from Hurricane Irene
• that I got to spend a cuddly day with my boys watching “Entourage” as Irene swirled around outside our windows
• that we had so many family and friends checking in on us before, throughout, and after the storm
• that we had power at our Connecticut house all week
• that school started successfully and safely
• for the inimitable John Dodig, principal of our high school, for his timely, upbeat, sensitive communication to parents throughout the week
• for the invaluable training and tips I’ve been receiving from talented social media expert Amy Porterfield
