My thoughts turn tonight to my youngest, Emily. The one perhaps the most like me, which may not be a compliment.
I enclose a picture of her that made the top of the fold in the Seattle Times, when the WTO was in Seattle.
She's the one that isn't shielding her face.
And the song, by the Cranberries, which always make her think of me and my other girl.
Love you kids, all of you.

My cutthroat picture was actually on the Lamar. It was my first trip to Montana tagging along with my brother in July doing his elk scouting for bow hunting season. The black waders were my volunteer firefighter equipment. I was hook on flyfishing and return many times from then on with my two sons...:)
Guam is lost if fire and brimstone continues to carry on. I hope there is sanity among our generals. And courage.
