Hiya Mark! (always good to hear from friends back home :-)

Downhill is right.  Downhill all the way to the coast.  Sure missing
that warm water.  Not missing those tornados, however.  Jen and Mark
played on some central Texas rivers with me, then discovered as I did 
where the *real* white water can be in Texas... down on the coast :-)

I'll gladly be blamed, Mark :-)  Sounds like y'all have gotten into the
boat collecting business, too.  We need to mark off a calendar date
for Horn Island.  Have you guys gone to the Colorado River yet during
the Bald Eagle season?  Should be some Bald Eagles nesting up in the 
cliffs still.  A real nice trip for those in the area (Texas Hill Country) 
paddling alongside 300 foot cliffs with lots of waterfalls this time 
of year (*especially* this year), lagoons with deep pools and bald 
eagles soaring overhead.  Shouldn't be any jet skiis right now...

Cheers,

Jackie
