Dan Sheedy

I'm enjoying summer in the Thousand Islands with my eldest son Ben (23) who just graduated summa cum laude with a BFA in Acting from SUNY Fredonia. He will be studying at Harvard this summer. Something called The Stanislovsky Method. In the meantime, he is crafting a new second storey "sleeping porch" on a 125-year old Victorian cottage out on Grenell Is. with the owner. Busy guy.
I'm still flailing away, doing commercials and narrations, but not a heck of a lot. Having a new website designed and launched soon.
Younger son Jon is still working at a video game store and pondering his future.
One of our beloved dogs (Bailey...Golden Retriever...age 11) just had her spleen removed. One vet said it would probably turn out to be malignant, but happily, she's fine and is enjoying her "vacation" with me in the islands.
We had a number of "issues" with two of our boats earlier this spring, but all have been resolved and despite shockingly low water levels in the St Lawrence River, we are enjoying ourselves.
My wife will likely return to her cottage this week. It will be nice to see her again.
I am in pretty good health and quite grateful to see some sunshine today. All is well.
