Hmmm, that last was from one of the boyfriends Wakana met on this last trip.... Colk and Bill Sables, two of her favorite people. If something ever happened to me I think I know where she would go!

Just kidding, of course. But you are all correct, it doesn't seem like a year can go by that fast. It sure has been interesting but then every day in my new life has been interesting.

I just sent a letter of complaint to the manufacturers of my incredible sinking kayak in New Zealand. I wonder if they'll bother to write back?
