Now, from an unnamed port city far to the south...
Despite our mutual flu, MFH and I drove for two days to get down here in time for my nephew's wedding. It was an ordeal. The drive, not the wedding, which was a lot of fun. Very multicultural: Vietnamese, Filipinos, one Cuban, and a bunch of Scotch-Irish/German/Welsh Virginians. The food was great. It was provided by the Filipinos, with a bit from the Vietnamese. None of it was supplied by the Scotch-Irish! (Can anyone even name a Scotch-Irish food?). Maybe that is why is was so good.

Since then we have been laying at home, trying to heal. I am annoyed at being sick, and especially annoyed that I gave the flu to my niece Mulan when she came down from the mountains to visit with us last weekend.

So I will be away from the Land of Wilkes for a week or so. Perhaps I will try to figure out how to link other sites that have material related to Wilkes to my site.
