What month is it?


Hey friends,
I'm back with an update.
Now, don't get too excited. There is very little to report. It has been nothing but boring 'round these parts...
Only two things of interest have happened since I wrote last. The first is a little "boating" competition that was held here in he IZ. (pictures and story will be my next posting.) What's the second thing that got people excited?
Strangely enough, it was clouds. We actually started seeing some clouds last week. The first time since I got in country. It's amazing isn't it, the things you take for granted. I actually did a double take when I saw them. All I could think about was the fact that those beautiful wispy little clouds contained a little moisture, and how nice it be if we could get them to open up and just rain like hell, even for five minutes or so. Of course, it didn't happen. It may, I am told, in a few months or so. Until them I will have to fall back on fond memories of precipitous events that I have experienced elsewhere. The warm rain of the southern states, the cold crisp rain of the Rockies, or even the gentile New England snow.
I'm certain that my friend Jessica would remember the trip we all took to Boston. The blizzard that hit about an hour after we got to the hotel. Marek got trashed, Lucas got trashed...hell, we all got trashed. Then the next morning we had to walk through the aftermath of a deserted city to catch the amtrak back to Maine. Good stuff. Someone needs to cut the weather report out of the local paper and send it to me, at this point, it's almost as good as pornography.
Oh yeah, apparently my brother is dating again...

Till next time,
-Jason

What are the odds of you getting home for Mardi Gras?

Hey J,

Tell your brother I am sooo happy to see he has found someone. I know it will probable cost alot to feed her, but I am sure he will make it up with what he will save in buying her clothes.
