Visiting An Old Friend

I'm happy to report two quick updates....

First, our satellite uplinks have been repaired. The delays between my submission and the actual posting on the web log have been significantly reduced. Of course, you can continue to track me at www.santanorad.org as well.

Second, I just left Minneapolis. If you remember Billy from one of my earlier postings (see 11/27 post), you'll be glad to know that he is fully recovered from his stomach flu. And he did make the final "nice" list. It was "touch & go" there for a while as he spent much of the Holiday season on the naughty list. But he pulled it out the last couple of weeks. It was truly a lot of fun getting to drop off the new Ninentendo Wii that he wanted so badly... I could close my eyes and easily imagine the smile on his face when he sees it in the morning.
