How lovely! Any bird sightings? Seems someone mentioned this was a bird
watcher's paradise (or something like that)!

I saw lots of duck butt in Little Rock – and was even honorary Co-Duck

Travel plans. I'm looking at coming in to SJC (San Jose) on Dec. 23 and
leaving on Jan. 2. How does that work for the Boogs? It should coincide
nicely w/ Bob's visit.
