    After 15 months on the board of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District, Pat Callahan announced he is resigning to move to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, for at least a year to be with his wife, Julie Callahan, who is being sent there on a foreign assignment by IBM.

I really miss being able to get out for walks in the woods but can’t tote my oxygen tank, and the woodland way is too uneven, tilted and rough, for me to traverse safely. So, I try to be content with what I can see from the patio and car port.
