I'm here! I am in Houlton. Alba, where are you? Sins, you haven't missed anything. Amos, those turbaned gentlemen were salesmen dealing in lingerie. They had their stock wrapped arounf their heads for safety.

Things are going well here. We finally got Mom's new (used) computer up and running.

We arrived last night and stayed up late into the night. My dad looks good but he is weak and still trying to recover from his last two encounters with the hospital. I finally heard the whole story of his 22 months in the Marines.

Charley, do you remember Dad's photo album of China? If I bring it south with me can we scan all those photos into digital format? I also have pictures he took in Guam.

As for the schedule, I will be here until Friday morning. Then I head to Brunswick to visit with my old co-workers and then up to Richmond for the party. Saturday I am headed for Manchester to put the kids on the plane and thence to Portsmouth. Susan A-R, I can get you to the Press Room from Manchester but not back. I fly out of Manchester on Monday afternoon.
