[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth? Nice weather?

I worked late and forgot about having to warm up my car. In the 20s last night and many nights to come.

Clear and cold today.

I did indeed Sally Forth this morning - burst through the Sally Port into high winds and heavy rain at 0600. A tedious journey into the Federalplex - slick roads, rude and demented motorists, and of course, the occasional wreck on the side of the road.

Arrived safe and sound - left early this afternoon - we had to go to a Board Meeting at my son Daniel's workplace.

As I write this, my son David has named the new kitten - "Achilles."

I approve.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
