For those of you who live on the other side of the Delaware River...who may live in Jersey but not South Jersey...who may have stumbled over the "EHTHS" acronym in Col's latest blog...
Allow me to translate. EHTHS stands for Egg Harbor Township High School, where Colleen taught for thirty-two years. (Towns are sometimes referred to as townships in South Jersey; I have never learned why that's so. Egg Harbor is the name of a river that flows southeast from the Delaware, through miles of pine barrens, to where it pools into a major bay just before emptying out into the Atlantic. A long bridge, just rebuilt, crosses over the Egg Harbor bay to Ocean City, the barrier island where Camille and Leslie live and also our mother Suzanne. Colleen's lives on the mainland side of the bridge, a stone's throw away from the bay. I have never crossed that bridge without seeing snowy egrets poised in the tall green grasses of the bay's wetlands.)

Hmmmm...TMI?
