Re: Ahern website updates

[sent September 4th]

Today is September 4th. Brian Ahearn from Connecticut is supposed to be
getting married today in Boston, but according to an article in the Boston
Globe the other day, plans for a reception aboard a yacht touring Boston
Harbor were in a state of flux with the anticipation of Hurricane Earl.
Sitting here now, about an hour's drive west of Boston, there is no sign
of any hurricane. In fact, a little breeze wouldbe welcome in this heat.
I can only imagine that Brian's Ahearn luck will come through and he and
his bride will have great day.
