Yes, I am back from the Pantanal of Brazil, safe and as sound as can be expected. I have a cold, saddle sores, and seven or eight brand new insect bites from my last night in Brazil.
I also have somewhere between 8,000 and 15,000 photos to download and edit. That process is going on right now, though my software is giving me the cold shoulder about getting on with the getting on. I suspect every program on my computer is updating and slowing everything down.
Clyde, I am sure you will be disappointed that the first snowfall did not land exactly on your birthday, but two days early. Nonetheless, I hope you have a great celebration and here are lots and lots of hugs.
Everything will be explained in due time--the saddle sores, the bug bites, the photos, etc. Right now, my body its calling for a nap, so it's off to bed for a while.
Stay Tuned.
