Hola from Texas! We sure do miss you around here... lunch has been very quiet. The microwave oven does seem to be working better now that you've left! Ha! :)

I'm getting very big and cranky. I seem to want chocolate all the time now... actually, I guess that's not very different from usual.

So, which was more interesting - the football game in Alaska, or the rugby game in Antartica? I also wanted to comment on the pics of Scott's hut. Those were amazing! His story has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. Thanks for those... I hope one day I'll be able to see them myself in person.

Emmalee and Robbie sure have enjoyed reading your blogs and looking at the pics - so have I. Stay safe and warm - we miss you!

Hi Amy!!!It's great to hear from you!!! 
Definitly the rugby game. It really was bizarre standing on the ice shelf and watching a game. The mind had a hard time comprehending what it was seeing.
Hmmm... I always thought I just sat quietly at lunch, I'll try and sit quiter from now on.
Yeah Scott's hut is amazing. There are some scientists here studying the deterioration of the historic huts. I tried to meet up with them out there twice but both times I ended up being "out of town". They are now on there way north.
Glad that you and they are enjoying the reports.
