January 5

Sunny day but cool in south Florida.    Michael, Mark and I had breakfast at Panera in the sunshine (53 degrees) and then browsed around West Marine.    Mark, Philip, Michael and the NC group went out on Biscayne Bay for a boat ride and I spent some time with Annette and met my grand kitties for the first time.    Then off to the airport and I flew back to IL to visit Dad and be here for a medical procedure he's having Thursday.   Spent the night with Mark's parents.   It's soooo cold all over the country!

Carlos and Julio (grand kitties)

Mark, Philip, Michael, Bob, Scott and Leigh braved the elements and went to the Orange Bowl in Miami between Iowa and Georgia Tech - the Hawkeyes won 24-14!   Yeah!!!!
