Hello from the Sandbox!

Generally Scott has the ability to check email once a week but usually doesn't have time to respond. This morning, however, I was excited to see his name in my inbox. Here are a few excerpts:

Bad weather today -- thunderstorms and torrents of rain. So here I sit in the computer room. I hope they don't have me doing anything too mindless this afternoon. It's the first real rain of the rainy season. I am wondering if it will bring the desert to life.

There was no World Series game on in the chow hall this morning and I cannot get into preseason NBA. The news has been a broken record the last few weeks. The economy, the stock market, the housing market, and the election. It seems so distant from here.

Feel free to email Scott at his yahoo address (ramzeeola90@yahoo.com). He would love to get updates from you. Just realize you will not likely hear back.
