No family except on the phone and the net. My daughter is in Philadelphia, my brother is in Poughkeepsie, NY, my sister is in Seattle, and I have cousins I don't know well spread all around the trans-Mississippi west.

Kind of isolated here in Florida!

Well, I'm glad you're here with us, LCS, although I'm wiped out... not sure I'm gonna be able to stay awake till 7!

Clare told me they had a bit of a cold snap in Naples this past week, but that it was sunny and mid 60's today. She sat by the pool for a while and read "The Aenied" for her Lit. class. Then she went and joined about 25 kids who were having a Thanksgiving dinner at the girls dorm. She said it was mostly older students, but a few of her friends from the freshman class were there as well. One of her roommates is from Deerfield Beach, and invited Clare for the weekend, but she wanted to get her reading done, and and essay on the book for her class over the weekend, so she stayed at the school.

We missed her and David, and are looking forward to Christmas when they'll all be here.
