>You have met Emily but would not recognize her now. She is 13 1/2 and probably 5'7". My pride and joy. I'll stop right there -- no one wants to listen to parents brag about their kids.

Oy! I remember her in diapers! At least you haven't put her in college yet. Tamar's kid is a spizzwink. <g> You're still quite young.

>Here's hoping L.A. is treating you well and you haven't gone TOO native ;-)

Oh, I'm native alright. When we walked to dinner in Milwaukee, Andy was in shirtsleeves and I was wearing a fleece jacket over a sweatshirt. The blood thins amazingly quickly!

Funny thing is when we went to the airport in Milwaukee, it was 72 and sunny. When I (finally -- long story) got to LAX it was 40 and wet. Hmph!
