Christmas 1998

Picture
It is now Christmas Eve here in Singapore and just thought I'd drop a quick line to say MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

JR is back in Singapore for Christmas vacation, safe and sound, enjoying "no pressure to do anything" for 4 weeks. 

Picture
Gerri is shopping and baking like a mad women stressing that she didn't do enough of either before the big day tomorrow.  


Picture
Alexis is, well Alexis.  (15 years old and everyone says this phase will pass...)  I hope I let her live long enough to "grow out of it".  Where did "Daddy's little girl" disappear to?  (Still straight "A" report card and involved in every activity in school so no real complaints here...)


Picture
I am sick (again) picked up something, somewhere between Singapore - Japan - Las Vegas - Newark - Indianapolis - Chicago - London- Singapore - Bangkok - Singapore in the last 13 days.   Doctor has me on about a dozen medications to ward of bronchitis/pneumonia and I've slept 20 out of the last 24 hours...  Going in for a complete physical next week.... Hoping to find the bug that has struck me twice in 120 days.

Doing something a little different for a holiday trip... On the 3rd we leave for Nepal for a week.  Kathmandu, Mount Everest (viewing, not trekking this time) here we come!  No phones, no email, but plenty of yak milk, snow and immersion in a myriad of religions and cultures found only in that part of the world.  I'm sure it will result in a few emailed stories and new photos for the homepage.

Hope this finds you well and enjoying the holiday with friends and family.

Life is good, and now, more complete in Asia!
