Thank you, Gene.....I actually grew up (and all my family is still there) in Pittsfield, MA (western mass, in the Berkshires) So you won't have to work too hard at the 'at home' thing! But it WILL be nice to come back to new friend opportunities. I think you guys are so great!!!
Someone on the Christian board asked if I had pics of AK, I sent them my blog with AK pics and other 'misc'. It's actually supposed to be my blog of my 'journey home', but I just goof off on it. But if you want to see some pics, there's some there, be sure to click on July 2006 in the archive list on the right-hand side of the page...there's a couple more there too. It's at:
