Hello hello. Well, we're back again. Back in action. Finally, we have internet. Not only that, we have internet phone! According to Joe, we have a North Carolina phone number, so whenever you wanna call us or we wanna call you, it will cost the same as it would in the states. And it works the same as dialing any 'ole stateside number -- no prefixes or anything. Unfortunately, neither Joe nor I actually know this phone number yet so we are relying on your caller ID to clue us in.

In other news, Joe has been working his tail off. He's worked every weekend since we've been here. Some of the cases that he's been working on are just so sad. Especially when there are children involved. Anyway, he's been learning a lot and his colleagues pitch in to help one another out, which is good on the long weekends and late nights. And, since we work close by one another, we can have lunch together and stop by each other's offices now and again. I would tell you a lot more 'cause his job is very interesting, but I'm not allowed to.

Meanwhile, in the world of framing. I framed my first "multi-window" piece today. I also learned how to shrink wrap (you know shrink-wrap -- like the plastic wrapping of a new board game). I figure it's a good skill to have if you wanna re-gift something and make it look brand new. If you can stick a piece of saran wrap over something and then blow dry the hell out of it, then you know how to shrink-wrap too!

Well, I'll let you go now. I've got way more to write, but figure it's better in short bursts than in one humongous letter.

Japanese word of the day:

"dai-joo-boo" - this means, roughly, "okay" It's a great word to know. You can use it like, "Okay?" "Okay." "Are you okay?" "It's all good." "That's okay."

Bye! - K
