7 Days

The bird flies in seven days. I am home in New York for the weekend as my brother Thomas is graduating from college on Sunday, and is being comissioned as a Third officer on Saturday.

I have purchaces all of the necessary supplies to make the gifts for the families with whom I stay. I am curious as to how they will like the gifts and if they will have any meaning in their life. I feel that they will, as the culture finds gift giving to be uneccessary, but very respectful.

I hope the disctict convention went well today. The vido presentation is almost complete, and needs some more elements. All in all I think it works in getting the point across as to what is Iowa.

That's all from the Empire State, be safe, no worries...
