Dear Friends

Hey there friends! I'm back in the saddle finally after being gone since Sept. 21st to various parts of Peru. I feel all happy inside! Most excellent trip and also most excellent to be home.

I'm slowly doing what THE MAN calls "peeing on my house" which basically means I'm tidying up, putting away, and in general, easing back into the day to day.

I have so many stories to tell you about Karina our Peruvian Cool Ass Guide Girl, community dogs, a hike to the Sun Gate, and Inca ingenuity that I don't know where to start.

Well, actually I have to start with the 450 e-mails in the work inbox, the 150 in the home inbox, and folding some laundry, but since it's Saturday, I plan on employing my typical method of getting that kind of thing done.

Glass of wine in hand I fold a few clothes, read a few e-mails from both accounts, and put something away.

It's terribly scattered, but I do eventually get it all done, lol.

Kinda like eating an oreo, the best part is inside, like checking out every one's latest projects that have arrived via e-mail....but then you should also eat the cookie part too.....

oh and PS. Karina always said:  OK FRIENDS when she wanted to get our attention and I liked it...I think I am going to steal it fair and square.
