Just like that. 138 days later and we are right back where we started.

Did I tell you have I have terrible chest cold?
Rat farts.




A short recap of the trip... where we left as wanderers determined to regroup and refocus... and returned home about to become grandparents! Life is certainly an adventure.

A few interesting to me side notes: We went to one Duck basketball game on this trip. Ducks lost to Idaho. We went to one Duck football game on this trip. Ducks lost to Auburn. We went to one Duck track dual meet on this trip. Ducks tied with UCLA. Not sure what this means, but I do not like the trend.
We had a wholelotta trouble with our satellite internet dish on this trip. Five times dudes were on our roof. The system is working most of the time now, but I still have to tweak it occasionally. Irks me.
That little trip to the Emergency Room in Benson, Arizona, after I cut my thumb with a paring knife? Where they put the gash back together with super glue and gave me a tetanus shot? $1500. Isn't that criminal?
With the news that Lisa & Lenny are having a baby and getting married (apparently in that order) - this was obviously a fabulous winter. We were able to spend a lot of time with the kids. Big changes are in store for our family!
Until my next update, I remain, your sneezing & coughing correspondent.
