Well, I'm feeling a little better now that I've been quite a few days without caffeine. I getting used to it's absence. Christopher told me my last post had some odd grammatical "constructions." I decided to leave them in, despite the fact that I could easily edit the post, just to maintain the authenticity, however inarticulate. Although, I'm beginning to think that all of my non-technical writing is full of these "odd constructions." I think it may be due to an undercurrent of rebellion from the dry, methodical writing with which I spend most of my time. I - JUST - CAN'T - HELP -MYSELF! So, I'll apologize now for all of my upcoming, horribly difficult to read posts. I hope you can love me despite the fact that I cannot write.

So, as promised, here are some pictures from Christmas:

• A group shot of my parents, Christopher's parents, and Christopher, Adah, and I
• A picture we shot on the trail, using a felled tree as a tripod (sorry about the shadow)
• To prove where we've been, and a nice shot of Steve's walking stick (which was made to match Adah's walking stick)
