MIKE CARROLL almost from Carrollton, sent a report on the U.S.S. New York, a new transport ship in the Navy. It is capable of carrying a fully equipped battalion of Marines to a trouble spot in the world. Interestingly, it contains in its construction, tons of metal from the World Trade Center rubble. The ship was named by special request of Governor Pataki.

FELIX says that he's been lax about writing but that he's very busy and old and tired. Felix may be busy and tired, but he's not old, and I'm not going to let him off on that phony claim. But, I do know he's busy and that whenever he sends me email, I'm glad to get it. He makes me smile a lot!

IRENE and her family are back in Australia after a long vacation in the States. She's now also back to reading our blog and commenting. Thanks, Irene, I really appreciate it. Also, you have some of the greatest kids in the world!

SCOT got some good news about an investment in the stock market, so he says he's bragging. Bragging I guess because he made a very clever pick and it's paying off. Congratulations. :)

DASHMANN has had many compliments about his story of the murder trial. Not only was it a good story, he's an excellent writer. Now he's traveling with Mrs. D. in New York to visit inlaws. From outlaws to inlaws. Interesting life!

This is MARSHA's favorite picture from our trip to Philadelphia last month. It seems to be just a street scene, but these gentlemen were just so well and colorfully dressed that taking their picture was irresistible. So she did.
