Dear Mom,

Next Saturday and Sunday (and possibly Monday) I won't be around much if at all. Pat and I are taking a mid-Winter holiday. We have reservations for a tour of the Firehole River and for a cabin...oh, I forgot to mention...we're going to Yellowstone again. Our cabin will be within a couple hundred yards of Old Faceful and everything. We'll go in from West Yellowstone by snowcoach, tour by snowcoach, and leave by snowcoach on Monday afternoon.

Yes, I promise to dress warmly and wear my long underwear.

The Child You Most Esteem,
R
