Dear all,

It's a gorgeous Saturday morning in sunny Wisconsin. Warm, compared to last week, at 38 degrees:) I'm running around in a T-shirt, waiting for mom and dad to arrive for Thanksgiving (of course, the plane will land in the middle of the 4th quarter of the Alabama-Auburn game...) ROLL TIDE!

Last week was a little busy, with 2 tests (I'm taking statistics and immunology, and I feel like I'm back to school!), a Jon Bon Jovi concert right here in town, and getting ready for visitors. But, since the airplane is late, I have some downtime! Cindy, if you see this, I have to say: "Go Buckeyes!" as I'm watching the game on TV.

For those of you who haven't seen me in a while, above is a picture of Trixie, Christie, and me (my little brothers' girlfriends, at Homecoming.

Okay, I'll go finish cleaning the house now... A big ROLL TIDE to all, and BEAT AUBURN!!!
