Sue:

This goes out to Jerry and Jeanie Harlin, good friends who were here in Skagway last season but who couldn't make it this year. We miss you and wish you were here. Nick is keeping us updated on the online cribbage games. He says he kicks your butt, Jerry. Nah, just kidding, he says even though he taught you how to play, you beat him as many times as he beats you.

Jerry, I thought of you today as Phil and I were unpacking the jade shipment. Remember all those little bears we had to unwrap? Well, it's almost as fun to count them in...all 7,000 of them. I made Phil do that (hee hee) while I unwrapped 98 little jade inucksuks (sp). My hands are raw and bleeding (damn Chinese wrapping paper).

You're also missing all the fun of detailing CAI. Since we have Dennis and Nancy as our bosses this year, we're cleaning that store with toothbrushes. And Nick and Ron are having a ball painting the place. I bet you are sad you're missing all that.

The totem pole you and Phil were working on is not in the lake anymore. We're finally drying out a bit around here. We still have about an inch of ice under our RV tires, and we think it will be there until May since the sun can't get to it under there, but we don't have to use our kayak to get from our RV to our truck anymore, and that's a good thing.

That's about it for now. We hope things in Texas are going well, but we do miss you and wish you were here.
