(laugh) And wouldn't you know it, I had just copied both Steve's and your
posts into my inbox! Alas, it seems I have become far too predictable!

I think I'm going to spend the summer back in Canada--I'm hoping to hit MSP
at some point--perhaps on the way to Nashville if I manage to make it out
there, too. In order to do that, though, I have to try to bear the next 6
months here (i.e. no traveling during spring break!). Will probably be
staying on here till 2007 (am considering extending my contract an
additional year) so to those thinking of heading to Japan (Barb, niece
Patty, Arri, Jean, etc. etc.) keep it in mind! That's an extra year to save
money to come on over!

And no one is cooler than you, Barb!
