Hi all, we've got a bit of snow up here prestty cold. Low 20's. About like the rest of New England, I suppose. Wild Life in the back yard. We get moose now and then. That's pretty cool.

Wow, deer in the backyard! All we have are squirrels. And snow? It's still practically summer here--though Omer, my youngest, goes snowboarding at Mountain High, about an hour an a half from here.

Been there, done that, several times (got a lot of kids). You will enjoy it. It will be WARM, that would be enough for me! Grand Rapids hit zero on Tuesday morning. We feed the deer and right now they are eating a 40 pound bag of feed in two days. Kellan, my youngest, counted 10 deer the other day. Our feeder is only about 30 feet from the back deck......very cool! We also have wild turkeys. Happy Trails Jerry!

Great to hear from everyone..........hope the holiday season is going well for all........we just got another 7 inches..........talk ablut being dumped on........good for the ski areas here in CT. though. The last was really nice powdery snow.............real light. Take care and have a safe trip, Jerry...........I was there many many moons ago.........(72?) and alot has changed. I hear it is even more fun for the adults than the kids..........

Nice to see you here again, Jerry. Have fun in DisneyWorld. I've only been to Disney Land. My favorite "ride" is Pirates of the Carribean. Not a scary ride, but really imaginative. I don't like the scary ones anymore!

Hello to all. It's been a while. I spent a good part of Thanksgiving Day in Georgia, VT with family. A good meal and good sharing. Was in Montreal the following Saturday night at the Bell Centre to watch the Flyers/Canadiens hockey game taken by Philadelphia with just 6.3 seconds left in overtime. John LeClair from St. Albans had just injured his shoulder badly the night before Thanksgiving in the Flyers game at Pittsburgh so we missed seeing him in action. I enjoyed getting up above the border, actually the second time this year after seeing an Expos baseball game in June before our reunion. On the front page of my newspaper this morning is the notice of the passing of Michael Valuk who had been town manager in Springfield for six years into the early 1980's. Does anybody remember him? He was 52 and had developed pneumonia from a rare blood disease, dying in Boston. After leaving Springfield, he'd been town manager of Salem, NH, then became president of the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce for 17 years. Next Tuesday I'll be heading down to DisneyWorld for four days with the other two youth leaders from church. I've never been, they have. Hope all is well with everyone.

I am in love (again) and it was just as good as the first time! Would it be shallow to simply say, "Thank-you", after six hours of unrestrained passion? All I can say is that every muscle in my body is a little sore today. It started with a run down a steep trail in powder that was up over my boots. I took one digger, but I didn't end up as a yard sale. Lots more runs all day on perfect mid-winter snow conditions. It was really cold, but no one was there because of that, I guess.
