Matt

Matt is still doing good. He has had a little trouble getting his sleep clock adjusted. The phone and internet facilities are pretty good. He has been able to call or email (sometimes both) everyday. Plus he isn't too terribly busy, so he has some free time.

Here is an excerpt from an email I got today: "All things considered, it is going okay. It is kind of weird because as much as I hate the fact that we are back here already, and as much as I hate this barren wasteland, and mostly as much as I hate being away from you, there is an odd comfortableness to this place.. it's familiar as opposed to new, so things really don't bother me much. The food continues to be great, showers are nice (taken one everyday), and they have a reliable laundry system."

Despite the fact that Matt and I are so far away, we are surviving...
