This is the song that is running through my head today... The Meow Mix commercial. Now that's a catchy tune. -- Talked to Mom for a while this morning. They are bumping back and forth between Alaska and Canada and saw a few brown bears yesterday. Rich and Sue are having some RV issues, which is to be expected when you travel as much as they have.

Eventually we will all eat back at the
