Great post Ruth! So glad I can see it now that I'm back from the Galapagos and have internet that actually works! lol
I certainly see the family resemblance between you and your niece. I Love that photo of some typical New York dreary weather, though up-state it's often more dreary as I'm sure you know. But seeing and being around family is most important. The photo of you with the Sndbox gang fantastic! There is a slight chance I may be making my way to New York City in the spring. If so I'll certainly stop by shake Michael and Kirk by the hand. Great people they are.
Anway with functioning internet; I'll be around. Hope your trip is going well. -Dan
Dan, let me know in advance (if you can) when you're coming to NYC! I have to go again this spring and who knows, maybe our trips can overlap.
