Hey Melissa!

Yes...we are renovating some houses devastated by Katrina in August of '05. Today I learned how to install stairs into a house!

I heard you all had snow. Enjoy!

Hi Haley!

It is fun helping people and getting to learn some new skills at the same time. Luckily we had REALLY good carpenters near-by to help us when things got tough. They were from the Habitat for Humanity group.

I am back in stamford but pretty exhausted. I will sleep well tonight!

See you Monday!

Mr. F :-)

Hey Catherine,

Thanks for the kind comment. It is nice to be able to help in a tangible way.

I am really happy to hear that you will be able to go to the states. I know how hard you have to work to get to those meets. You deserve those great post-season opportunities to shine!

I still can't believe you swim the 500. That's tough stuff!


See you tomorrow. Try the on-line karyotyping.
