Marcie, it is a downer to come back from such a great trip to our babies being ill. Masaki and Amanda and Doug and I kept getting updates on our furry offspring while we were trying to revitalize our post cruise trip. Thanks for the kind wishes.

My left knee has been giving me problems and I saw a doctor in Vancouver and on the ship because it wasn't working and was hurting a lot. However, I wasn't going to let that knee stop me and I was walking in Talkeetna (SP?) two days ago and it gave out and I fell down some stairs and sprained the right ankle.

Keep us up to date on Mr. Magoo...how old is he?
