Hi to my wife, Bev, and my son, Michael. I’m doing all right here. I hope I can get home for a rest and relaxation visit before Ciara is born. My wife is due on April 30, though she shows symptoms of early childbirth. Hello to my mom and dad. Even though my dad’s not worried, I know my mom is worried sick. Everything is OK here. We have a lot of down time and are really bored. For my dad, we have been trying to go hunting for like two years, so I’m planning on going hunting when I get home. I’d like to tell my son that Daddy’s OK, and I can’t wait to get home to play with him again.
