I will head back to Utah in the morning after spending Thanksgiving near to
where the first one reportedly took place.  Boston is sunny, clear and cold
this morning.  This time tomorrow I'll be on a flight back home.  Hopefully
the reason for this rush trip has settled enough that my wife can handle it.
I regret not being able to get down to say hello to Dave Dahlgren.  By my
calculations he is closer than the salt flats are from my home.  There'll be
another trip and maybe I'll trust my driving on these paved cow paths a little
more by then.

I'm grateful for family!  For the three grandkids who have occupied my days
since we arrived.  They are fun to be around and much too far from convenient
access from my home.  I can comfortably drive to their schools for after
school pick up.  Finding more direct routes really helps.  I'm glad they are
doing so well.  My grandson is great.  Thankfully his birth, ten weeks early
last June, hasn't prevented him from thriving now.

My friends from the Bonneville community continue to do things that make me
proud and happy to be involved with that select group.  What an impressive
year of record times!  Thinking back over the events is a reminder of
satisfactions and frustrations that were pretty much accepted as part of the
experience.  How nice to not have the attitude of entitlement on the salt that
we are seeing nightly on the TV news.  Congratulations to all of you.  I can
hardly wait to see you all on the salt next year!  With my easing back on my
salt responsibilities I hope to be able to see more of you during the events.

May I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas!

Wes
