So what should I talk about today? I called my mom and got to talk to my brother who flew into Boston this afternoon. He and his wife and family moved back to her home country last summer so we haven't seen each other in 9 months. I'm visiting my mom in April so we will have a little reunion. That ought to be fun. I may even get him and mom to come out here and visit for a few days.

On a sad note, while talking with him today I found out his dog Dunhil had been shot and killed. Luna had run home to them (they were staying with his wife's parents in the mountains) very shaken up and led them back to the body. They don't know who did it and it's not a country where there is anything they could do about it. They just made sure to take Luna back to the city with them. No more country living for her.
