February 2007

The News...This is going to be a short one because I'm right in the middle of
moving from Kentucky to Illinois (just above Chicago)! We close on our new
house in March and we're busy packing & purging. Man, do I have a LOT of books
to move! Our movers are going to HATE me!

I promise (yeah, yeah, I know, I've done it before) to be better about the
newsletter once we move and get settled in. Right now is just crazy for many
reasons (not all even relocation related -- would you believe that someone SHOT
my car?? No idea why; seems to be a random act of vandalism...but just one more
reason to get outta here!)
