Tuesday, 12/27: breakfast w/ Ardis, pack, drive east to New Jersey

Aunt Cara's browser is so old that it won't let me read my email -- I can open Hotmail and see that I have messages, but I can't open or delete the messages themselves. Ardis's browser is even older. So if I don't answer your comments until Wednesday, that's why. :-)
