by the way...

I totally appreciate hearing from those of you reading about our adventures here. My email address is on the left side of this page - in case you forgot. We enjoy hearing about everyday happenings so don't feel like your life is too boring for us - quite the contrary! I knew we would settle into a routine - school, work, walking the dog, cooking dinner, cleaning, etc. - with occassional "new" adventures. I guess it is pretty much like life in Madras, just new to us and in a different language! And, of course, the work situation is COMPLETELY different!
