Editor's Note: Just as I was returning from an excellent but exhausting weekend running a conference for my older son's ultra-rare genetic syndrome, my younger son broke his leg. Nothing like recovering from exhaustion by spending several nights sleeping in the pull-out chair/bed in a hospital room. And then Debby arrived on the US East Coast bringing 5 to 20 inches of rain, so the raining, pouring joke I'd been making all week seemed predestined.
