Howdy Friends!

First of all - thanks for all of your notes and emails. I'm not all that good about writing back, but I sure appreciate the thought.

I have a couple of bruises on my forehead, because I've started to launch forward from a sitting position to a crawling one. I can almost catch myself, but not quite, so I've banged the noggin into the floor a couple of times. No fun. I'm doing the "wounded soldier" crawl all over the place, and I'm so close to a real crawl that I can smell it, but not quite yet...

Since I'm on the bad news update, I had a bit of a stomache flu on Sunday. It was so bad that I had to skip our christmas brunch with friends. Sorry, friends! I seem to be over it now, but the projectile vomiting was no fun.

Let's see - my new passport is "in the mail", they say, and Thursday I get a new cast, for sure. So there will probably be another message this week. Friday I go to Houston. Boy, that's a lot of travel in my future. Makes me tired just thinking of it, so I'm taking a nap.

Love, D.
