It's Uncle Vic, using Matt's computer.
Just spoke to your Dad; he gave me the Nana update. He also told us about your blog - so Matt, Aunt Anne, and I have been catching up on your adventures. It all sounds very exciting and interesting. Matt is jealous.
But before he joins up, he needs to get his house finished. We're hoping he can move in within the next couple of weeks, so he'll be ready to host when you get back.
Anne and I will be heading up to NY around the end of the month to give your Mom and Dad a break.
Stay well. We'll all be following your exploits.
Love,
Uncle Vic
Are there any pictures of you actually doing -- you know -- work? Are you sure this isn't an 8-week vacation?
