to my fellow travelers
Hi Everyone,
I'm writing this from Islip Long Island (about 1 1/2 hours east of Manhatten), where I'm visiting my older daughter Stephanie, a doctor of Emergency Medicine (yes, that means she spends lots of late night hours in the ER), as well as meeting her fiance Mike Rose, and Mike's 5 yr old daughter Sarah (a real cutie), and visiting some possible sites for their wedding next May/early June. Dad;s handy in such situations not so much for the depth of his understanding as the depth of his wallet, which is fine by me. I figure the depth of my understanding was always a little suspect anyway.
We'll be traveling up and down the east coast visiting with various relatives for the ten days after this, then heading for Waterloo Canada (Marie's almost natal shores) for a week of Scottish Country Dancing. I hope to be sporting a new sporran (check Nicola for the details, if you dare!) at that time, courtesy of a gift certificate provided by a group of exceptionally thoughtful and generous fellow travelers I happen to know.
And whom I happen to be missing a good deal at this particular juncture of my own travels.
Hope you are all doing well, I'll bet 'my' Long Island humidity can beat 'your' San Jose area humidity any day of the week. Any takers on this annoying topic?
Fondly,
Jonathan

Greetings from muggy SJ where we've imported midwestern style humidity. 102 degrees can feel more oppressive. The other night as I thrashed around in my sleep I remembered Kansas nights perfectly. The difference was that I was composing a multimodal presentation for ISI. Ack, I must still be decompressing mentally!
I guess I'd better get online and shop for my MacLachlan sash so I can be sportin' me finery too. Such amazing generosity of spirit (as well as purse) amongst this group. Can't stop boastin' about 'em, not a 'tall.
