Travel

As the snow comes down outside, I’m remembering all the birthday celebrations in the past two months. Of course, the most important, was my Dad’s 80th, which we celebrated in early October. It was the first time in way too long that the whole family had gotten together, including Kevin, who has just returned, safe and sound, from Iraq. Pictures are in the photo gallery at http://www.sailor.nu/cpg132/. Also in November was my birthday, and Liz’s. We managed to surprise her for the second year in a row, with lots of friends from here in Kazakhstan. After being surprised with a visit to Arkansas by our good friend Jeannine, as well as a surprise of a new ring in Key West, Liz is getting a little weary of people jumping out at her from around corners and such. Also on our home trip we got to go to Las Vegas to see our good friends Thom and Ant, as well as Key West, to see, well, just about everyone we know from California (if that makes any sense). I’ll try to get some of those pictures up, real soon.
