And, like a dutiful husband, he left me a booklet (or so it seems) of instructions for what to do if the well stops pumping, how to start the generator if the power goes out, and where the shot gun and ammo is just in case... Frankly, I think he is afraid that I will get rid of his favorite bunny slippers His slippers are safe; however, those holely T-shirts are going bye bye. |

| Would Bob be able to show some pictures of the dig and make a few comments about the excavation site, if he's at one, and what he experienced? Or you for him? I'd really like to see and here about it. It's always been one of my interests. |

I sure can as soon as he sends some. I believe the actual field school starts Monday, and if I know him, he probably has already taken a ton of photos. I am hoping that sometime during the weekend, we will get the chance to see if the Skype works good. Bob put it in my computer before he left. I told him I guess that means I can't be on the computer while in my underwear anymore.
In the meantime, I am keeping busy learning the software and scripting for a new client at work. |

Yay! Can't wait for the pictures! Not the underwear ones! Save those for you and Bob! I'm assuming that Skype thingy is a video camera to talk to eachother with? I'm still trying to progress from the Bronze age |
I can sometimes think heavy thoughts but after a while I tend to bog down too much. Makes my mind go all fuzzy. Sometimes I try to wrap my mind around anthropology and Egyptology. I've always enjoyed those subjects. But there's one time only that I would have wanted to have that video thingy on the computer and tuned into Oprah. When Tom Cruise was treating that couch like a trampoline! I would have wanted to say "Dude! You're in your mid-forties and your jumping up and down on a couch! What's your deal, man?!?" That's when I would have liked to have done that....that and talk to my sister when she was living in Utah.
