The lemon cookie recipe looks good. I'll let you know if it turns out well and will send the recipe along.

You particularly would appreciate the stresses of G's new job. He's now the high school math teacher of a local charter school. He has two geometry classes, one Algebra II, one electronics, and a study skills class. He was a math major in college, so he feels pretty good about those classes, but the electronics is daunting. Plus, he's taking over classes where the previous teacher was let go for inadequate classroom management. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for being concerned. It's been a tough past few months, but I'm hoping for better times in '09.

I'm excited for you about your possible move. I think that a change would be great. I've always heard great things about Vancouver. It's on my list of places I'd love to visit.
