As the winter solstice passes, we cross the midway point of our overseas experience.  Our supervisors are doing our 3 month review for the medical council.  It will be interesting to see how the second half of the adventure compares.  We're excited that the days are now going to start getting longer!  I attended a book group at the city library this morning.  I usually don't work on Thursdays.  I've agreed to work full time for a couple weeks in August and September when Murray wants to take some trips.  I'm now arranging for the dogs' flight home.  We will arrive in LA on September 24.  I have a phone meeting this weekend with HR to discuss my status at Pres.  Dale and Nikki, help me get back in tri training mode when I get home!  Today the dogs tried venison bones and I renewed their city registration.  If you want to see pictures go to https://picasaweb.google.com/115133267095590644390/Dogs02?authuser=0&feat=directlink

  1. Rue Lavaud is French for Beach Road ? Did not know the French made it to NZ. Well in the US, when the AG of the US commits a crime and then is held in contempt of Congress, the President then tries to give him a "Get out of Jail Card" - Executive Privilege. Do the people in Washington think that they are playing Monopoly ? Well, enough of politics.

      I was primarily following the fires in New Mexico.
