Brother Joe and his problems

I am in Harrisburg, Pa. Today we have a counseling session at Philhaven. The goal is to help Joe realize his sisters support him but also help him make a decision about his living situation. Mary Anne now seems to be ready to have him make a move from Briggs Street since he calls her whenever there is an emergency and she is becoming frustrated. Yesterday I talked to Elaine the councilor at Phillhaven for about one hour. I gave a list of questions that Emily and I had formulated and asked her to address this questions at the session.
I am in the computer room of the Crown Plaza hotel. I will spend three nights here. Mary Anne was negative about me staying with her. Rick said just stay here the whole time at the hotel. Yesterday besides going to Philhaven I also took Joe to lunch at Red Lobster and to a New Balance shoe store where he bought a new pair of walking shoes for $109.00. He also bought socks and sole inserts. It will be interesting to see if he wears them today. I have been keeping a diary of what has happened. Last night I got a call from Emily and a call from Theresa and talked to them a very long time. I am going to go for a swim then walk up to Joe's and have lunch with him at Roxy. I plan to stop at Strawberry Banks on the way. I have been reading a new little paper call The Berg. I got copies for everyone. I wanted to have some remembrance of this trip and so I am glad I did this.
