Things are looking up. Walker and I chatted for awhile. It's been good to keep in touch with him. And my email is finally working. Thank God. I've been stranded without it. Also, Joe called me the other day. It was a suprise. After loosing my cellphone I wondered if I'd ever connect with people back home. I'm going home for thanksgiving!! Visiting Walker and Ash first at Houghton (and Andy). Then on the 21st we drive to albany. can't wait. i miss everyone. wish I could see you all. why can't the olson's have a thanksgiving party where everyone gets together at their place. it seems my only chance to see you all is at the annual christmas party when EVERYONE goes. oh well.
