i have fun pictues to post, and good stories to tell, but right now i'm just saying hello, so that you don't let me forget that i need to post my fun pictures and stories later - which will be much easier now that i have my laptop back after leaving it with the nice mac mobile guy for a week and a half. until then, though, angie is in africa and nathalie is in guatemala en route to honduras. i'm too lazy to link right now, so find their names in the sidebar. it will brighten your day. my brother is in iraq now, but apparently, keeping a blog is reason for termination there, so you can't read his stories. does anyone have a big tiller i could borrow? or an extension ladder? happy friday!
