I told Louie not to worry about you and the cold. Explained that it's way colder walking home from The Rusty Nail and that you got a lot of experience doing that (albeit with a Pizza Roll in your jacket for warmth). The kids are having fun tracking you each night on the computer. Very Proud Of You. Keep it up!!!

For: Aunt Lisa

I bet you are loving it, and it must be beautiful. Scotty and his family are back home and helping us "take care" of Mom and Dad.

For: Lisa

Just want to say hello and good luck to you! How amazing it is to know where you were when I met you 16 years ago and how far you have come today. I hope you are standing strong and climbing well. I know it isn't a wall at Bele Chere but I know how much it meant to you. So climb Girl climb.

Sounds like everyone is doing well. Enjoy every minute

For: Bill Heim

Hi daddy, hope you're having fun. I still think your toe shoes are ugly. I applied for another real job because I'm awesome. Oh, and some girl likes Midget and I called and threatened him if he doesn't talk to her. I hope your trip is as bad ass as you thought it would be. Rosie

Thought of the Day: Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life. (Wu men) Wishing you and everyone you are with the best season of your life!

Hi Lee. Hope this finds you well. Things here are good. I've been taking the pups out every day. I'm keeping on top of all the stuff that has to be done.You'll be happy to know I'm getting out too! Your Mom and Aunt Cece checked in, as well as Phylly, and my sister. I start back to work next week but I did get clearance to only go half days. I can pick you up at the airport! We all are cheering you on. We hope you are doing well. 143

We are enjoying the daily progress reports. Remember... "Only when you've been in the deepest valley can you know how magnificent it is to be atop the highest mountain." -- President Richard M. Nixon

For: Peter & Christine

Wow! Thomas & JJ (and I) would love you to bring home monkeys! Sports headlines: Saints shock Jaspers 70-64. Dust mop wins Westminster Dog Show. Tonight's Jimmer versus Jeremy Lin matchup blacked out on Time/Warner. Lin drained tie-breaking 3 with < 1 sec left. Could you hear Knix fans all the way on Kili? Word of the day: WHY? Geo Mallory's answer: "Because it's there." What's your own answer?

For: Chris DeGolyer
