Brett, it's so good to hear an update from you. Life seems to be such an adventure living there, from the way the government operates to the interesting and challenging students, and the entertaining critters!

Did you ask Santa for iPod? Maybe he could do a flyover? Really glad that you have a car now that you like.

It's also good to hear Wakana will be able to slow down after she's done with the college.

What is it about critters that they enjoy rolling around getting themselves so dirty? I've seen horses do it, dogs do it, cats, etc. but not a white cat. That must make quite a picture.

I really enjoyed the Guam pictures and old maps etc. that you sent in the last PowerPoint. It's neat to know you have found another great cache.

Isn't February in Maine close to Maple sugar time? Or is that still too early? At least her husband will be jumping in with both feet, eh?**BG** I hope you get to see them sometime this year.

Take care and thanks again,
