On my dts there was a married couple from Alaska. Today, via email, I received 2 pictures of them and the incredible results of a recent fishing trip.
They are so hardcore.

On another note, sad daycare kid, it turns out, had an absessed (?) tooth! So he wasn't sad, so much as in pain. He missed school yesterday, but was back today. We sat in the field together for 20 mins or so, and he just talked to me. It was great.

Funny how during the course of my average day, a good percentage of the quality conversation and fun times I have are with persons 9 years old and under.
