Hello! Hello!

Hi Muffin,

I hope you are feeling better today. If your throat gets too bad you should check out the infirmary. You don't want it to turn into strep throat. What is it about you and boats? You just can't stay out of the dr office. You must be getting excited about getting to South Africa. Just 3 more days right? I can't believe you are hanging out with so many girls. Who are you and what have you done with my Nikki?!?!? i think it is great. Hopefully they will turn into life long friends. The trick you see is to make friends with girls from all over the country so you always have a place to stay when you travel. Saves on hotels! Hopefully it doesn't get too rough on the 18th. Did you bring any duct tape? You could tape your drawers shut. Don't forget that it is the weekend so send any e-mails home. In fact, I have Monday off too but I probably will go into work for awhile. I moved into my new office today and it is a disaster right now.

Just think, when you guys get on the other side of the earth you will start gaining hours of sleep!! Make sure you get as much rest as you can.

Love you kid, Daddio
