Happy birthday Chris. He is 39 today. We all get older. And I got to talk with Katie on the phone. She sounded excited that I might be home for the last weekend in June. At least I think I'll be home. If any of the older kids are reading this, THE YOUNGEST CHILD IN THE FAMILY IS ALMOST FORTY! How does that make you feel? Ha ha ha. I'd like to be home for the Deerfield Massacre commemoration. We are related to one of the redeemed captives born in Canada. So we are related to the canadian contingent, who'll be present. It is sort of a 300 year family reunion.

In other news I got the second best grade on my biology test in my class, a 92. I thought it was easy, but the way the teacher talked I began to wonder. My quiz grades bring my average down but I can do something about that. So my old time intensive study methods paid off. Whew. I'm almost looking forward to cramming glycolysis, the krebs cycle, electron transfer phosphorylation and the pyruvates, ADP and ATP and all the rest into my head. So I can do it. That is a small relief.
