PAPAS NEW PROJECT

Since our move to the Seattle I've been working on a 43 story
office tower to be built in downtown Seattle. The photo at right are computer renderings of the building inserted into photograph of the Seattle skyline. It is the faceted silver building with the sloped top next to the tall black building. It's a big (and welcome) change from the hospital I was working on in Los Angeles.

SPEED RACER

Speed Racer is what Mimi reminds mama of. As most of you know, mama is from that generation that produced all of those Japanese cartoons that mama really liked such as Speed Racer, Marine Boy and Kimba the White Lion. As for Uncle Jim, it was Godzilla that he liked so much.

Actually this is a picture of Mimi's new ski helmet and goggles.

PAPA'S LITTLE HELPER

Papa has four days off for this New Year Holiday. Yesterday he and Mimi went around the house hanging pictures. Mama in the meantime is laid up with the bad case of allergies and laryngitis. She thinks that she got sick from the Christmas tree.

This year papa bought a gorgeous Noble Fir tree that looks and smells wonderful, except it seems that everytime we buy a tree, mama gets sick. For that matter, so does our Ollie who has asthma. Don't quite know what we'll do next year. We may end up getting a artificial tree which does not make papa too happy. But, what can you do? Hmmm?

Tomorrow we are all planning to take the kids up to the mountains to go skiing. Blake and Mimi are quite excited about that. Mostly likely we will go to Crystal Mountain. Hopefully mama will be feeling better by then.
