I desperately need the exercise and sunshine. Lex has, quite possibly, the shortest commute in the known universe given that it's about fifteen feet from bed to desk :) NOw that the weather is warmer, I’ve got to get back to those once-a-week (at least) walks to campus.

And it's not all wine and roses, you know. Some of it has been disappointing, particularly the fact that we haven't traveled much yet. I'm hoping that will change this summer. And I miss the daddy quite a lot and think of him practically every day. I was just talking about him with some students today. We love you, too, my dear. And it’s not all wine and roses, you know.

I remember you both :) So good to hear from you. I hope Chattanooga is treating you well. Honestly, I haven't done a lot of caching since I moved to Maryland. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I'm hoping that will change. I'm also hoping that on our travels this summer, we'll have the chance to hit caches in every state we touch down in from here to Texas. I'm very ready for summer vacation! Enjoy San Antonio. I miss it so! If you do get out this way, please drop us a line and let us know. It'd be great to see some of my old caching buddies again :) Yes! I remember you both :) So good to hear from you.

DJ and I sttended an event you hosted at the dog park. We adopted the caches you'd placed near Brooks. I've retired from the USAF and live in Chattanooga now. I saw you on the Ravalry Geocaching forum. I thought about you this Fall. DJ and I visited Baltimore. I think you'd done one of the virtuals we found. We only did the ones at Ft McHenry. That was exciting to visit such a historical place. I think it sounds exciting that you are fulltime RVing. I knew people who would do this in the military. At least until they would tire of that spot and then find themselves a new base to park and stay for how-ever long they wanted. DJers would so like an RV. We went on a few RV excursions with some cachers who lived in Sequine. They have since moved up to the Seattle area. DJ and I headed out to S.A. next weekend. Our former German exchange student is coming to the USA. She is bringing her family. We are stoked to visit with them again. My brother lives in Fredericksburg, VA so I just might see you on the east coast caching trails again one day when we visit that wonderful historic city. Take care, dndj Hi MJ,

It all sounds really wonderful-- the nature, the self-sufficiency, the coziness. I would really have to retrain myself on the space thing tho. Not sure if i could stand not saving -everything-. You never know.... And the daddy would be IMMENSELY proud of you. Love you. I’m convinced! It all sounds really wonderful– the nature, the self-sufficiency, the coziness.

You get to notice all the little things. I always wanted that. Granted, my current commute takes me from my bedroom to my back yard, but I always thought it would be great to bike or walk in.

Go to the the sporting goods or hunting supply place and get some. And Ann, thank you so much. I really hope we get down to see you eventually. It may not be until next Christmas break, but I promise you we'll end up on your doorstep one day. Mindy, the key is WOOL socks! Go to the the sporting goods or hunting supply place and get some.

I've thought of you so often, and am really glad you are such a resourceful person; concurrently, you are writing The Great(est) Univeral How-To Manual for RVers, I hope, as you have developed an enviable list of survival tips! So sorry you are having to "practice what you preach", as opposed to basking in the sunshine in our back yard or on the beach of your choice, but there will be time for that later. Suffice it to say that you are always welcome here (and I won't bore you with our current temps and weather conditions). Take care, and know I'm thinking of you, and hoping for a quick and prolonged respite from the storm. You guys deserve it! Love and Hugs, Ann Wow, Mary Jo, what an article!

We still use that a lot. Especially my mom who does the whole thing, including the "GI Joooooooe" at the end. Immensely dorky and hilarious. Amusing and informative-- i learned a tip or two. Yes, a stupid hair dryer and its 1001 uses! About the only thing i don't use it for is to dry my hair. And i'm a huge advocate of having plenty of 5-gallon (or any other size) buckets around. I'm always needing a bucket for something. And a couple of good, sturdy feed shovels. It didn't occur to me right off that letting the new snow cover the old snow could cause problems like that; but hey, how do you think mountains were formed from dirt? Strata formed through pressure and heat and whatnot... same thing with snow turning into ice strata that you'd need a jackhammer to clear out. In the plus column, tho, you'd get to play with heavy-duty, pneumatic power tools. Kind of a toss up there. Sorry to hear that you're both sick on top of all this fiesty weather. Really puts the suck into it. Just about the only thing you didn't mention having was a Coleman camping stove. Of course, if you have a gas stove, then you don't necessarily need one unless you run out of butane like i did last month. Daddy scrounged every size extra tank we had that had any butane in it so i could have heat that night. Backups for the backups are crucial indeed. I would so love to be up there and be a snowed-in mountain hermit, so to speak. I love snow. I hate cold. Somebody needs to figure out how we can have the snow without the cold... oh wait, i think they did figure that out over on Cypress, didn't they? But we're only in the 20's-30's and i'm miserable. My feet and legs stay cold ALL the time; and you know i am ALWAYS wearing socks. Well, except in the shower. I've also thought about wearing two pairs of socks, but i knew i wouldn't be able to put on my shoes. Shoes are important. Snuggling is also up there on my list. Oh, and beer. I'm praying for you, or rather, i'm praying that you won't run out of beer before the next window for a store run. Are you sure you don't want to rethink that flamethrower? (The first comment was more cohesive and better written; and i know there were a few things i left out. But i did throw in some extra wit to make up for it. Blah.) “Now you know….” We still use that a lot. Especially my mom who does the whole thing, including the “GI Joooooooe” at the end. Immensely dorky and hilarious.
