Hi Gang,

I made it home safely without a passport. I actually flew through baggage claim and customs faster than any time before! The only holdup was the customs guy who wanted to know about the cathedral amethyst I bought in Houlton. He hadn't seen one before.

Now I am at the office downloading my deliquent email so I can take it home and sort through it before I go to work tomorrow.

Thanks for the welcome and the music. It was a great trip home which is well because it will probably be over a year before I get back there again. And after 13 hours on planes today it will take a year or longer before I am willing to put up with that again.

Brett
