Monsoon Flower

Welcome home, I guess! I certainly didn't see such a blossom in Duxbury, although the landscaping there in general was quite tasteful, in an anal-retentive sort of way.
We just got back from Deep Creek, where we checked out the under-construction artificial white-water kayaking course being built at the top of a (small) mountain. Looked like a fun project, although hardly a national priority.

Fine thanks, and you?

Welcome home indeed. Felt good to return to my city of heaps. Don't quite understand why but I like it here. It's been raining daily for the past three weeks so all the heaps and piles and dogs and crows are wet.
It was great to be with you and Annie in Duxbury - strange place to meet, but why not? I really like Annie, she's a neat person.
I've got to get Mira away from the TV now and on to algebra.
Much love
