    I don't check this site much either - it's pretty dead most of the time. Karen is loving it there, although she says she misses fall weather. I think she's nuts, myself. (It's 40 degrees, windy, and raining here right now.) She's going to try to come home on Thanksgiving weekend. I'm on call at work that weekend, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be here to see her. Karen says the whole A2E group is pretty tight since they're in class all day with each other. I think they all work out together at 5 am most mornings. Next time I talk with her, I'll ask about Brandon.
