Holiday Greetings

The hotel where I am staying put up a Christmas tree today - one of the very few symbols of Christmas I've seen here in Thailand. Today was also my dad's (better known as "Ducky") birthday.

Seeing the hotel's Christmas tree reminded me that I haven't been in the US for what suddenly felt like a very long time. Being so far from relatives, friends, home and people that speak English at this time of year is really making me very homesick.

I will be reminiscing about the good and sad times I've shared with all of you.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

- David

PS - it's not too late to send Linh a Christmas card and I promise I won't mention this again.
