Aunt gail forgot the asparagus in the back room, so we had it with dessert. It was quite a scandal. Keep in touch. I can't wait for you to get back to albany, no worries though. I got a new car :) -Love andi

Hello Jimmy, your blog is amazing. Both the narration and pictures. I can only imagine what it must be like to be there and experience all you've done and seen. I'm glad I finally sat down and took the time to view it fully! Take care and try to fit some school work in there. We miss you! Oh yeah, Mr. P starts at the course on Monday - he's the new Justin.
