I hope all my American friends stay safe.

The weird thing is we've got floods up north right now. If only we could get some of that water down to the people in Victoria. We've got too much of it and they can't get a drop.

The pictures I've seen have been truly moving. I also saw the picture of the koala and was moved to tears. <BR/><BR/>The weather in NYC is very, very slowly warming up, but as someone who grew up in Florida with a pool, I can certainly understand the appeal. <BR/><BR/>Have fun at the convention next week!<BR/>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652314467044672426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-48991849345502155412009-02-11T00:39:00.000-08:002009-02-11T00:39:00.000-08:00AnnaI love the photos I wish we had a pool it real...Anna<BR/>I love the photos I wish we had a pool it really has been hot and I do love Matthew Hayden sad about the cricket.<BR/><BR/>The bushfires in Vicroria are dreadful so many lives lost and I can't imagine how many animals we have lost did you see the picture of the fireman giving the injured koala a drink from his water bottle she is doing well now.
