Happy Birthday Karen! Wherever you are!

I got a call yesterday from the wonder-twins. They were at the Mall of America, having once again braved the world's longest undefended border and rejoined the homeland. My accursed cellphone doesn't have signal in my building so I got a voicemail instead of a real conversation, but Karen said they'd call again in a few days, probably from Nebraska. (What on Earth is in Nebraska?)

Anyhow, much good wishes, love, and luck, and a safe and speedy return!
