12966. judithathome - 12/30/2004 7:02:30 PM Frank!! This summer MsNo is coming for the gathering at Arky's that you and Seadate went to with us a few summers ago. See if you can swing a trip out here and you can come along this time, too!
Anyone heard from Seadate lately? 12967. arkymalarky - 12/30/2004 7:45:53 PM How nice, Frank! So glad you enjoyed a family reunion of sorts. That's how Bob's was this year. People are so scattered--not all the way to Maui, but to Miami, anyway--it's going to be a rarer occasion as the years go by, and when Bob's mother is gone (hopefully many years from now) it will probably stop altogether.
I've enjoyed the Mote holiday stories this year as much as I ever recall in 8 Christmases.
Funny how when you're a kid at the card table with your cousins at Grandma's house filling up on family recipes you don't ever remember not having at holiday meals, it never occurs to you that anything has an end.
And Judith is exactly right. You and MsNo air-pool and get your butt down here! ;-)
People here would love to see you again. 12968. Max Macks - 12/30/2004 8:32:10 PM Snowowl
thats good news about Bali not being affected
but when I look at the map of Indonesia I simply cannot
understand how Bali could NOT be affected.
Can someone explain?
the only thing I can guess is that Bali is on
the side away from the epicenter of the quake. 12969. judithathome - 12/30/2004 9:31:57 PM I decided to drop Seadate a line and he is doing fine...very busy with work and not on the internet much at all lately. He says Hey to everyone! 12970. arkymalarky - 12/30/2004 10:22:31 PM Good to know he's okay. Hope he finds time to stop in soon! 12971. alistairConnor - 12/30/2004 10:46:16 PM Max :
Indonesia is a huge archipelago. Bali is pretty near the eastern extremity, facing the Pacific. The earthquake was at the western extremity, on the Indian Ocean. 12972. alistairConnor - 12/30/2004 10:51:44 PM The friends I have been staying with these last couple of days have close friends, whom I have met, who recently moved to Sri Lanka and bought a house there, about a kilometre from the coast.
They are OK, but severely shaken by the events. Dead people everywhere.
Sensitive souls. They left France to get away from a stressful situation -- they got fired from running a cultural festival -- and walked into a nightmare. 12973. Max Macks - 12/31/2004 6:08:54 AM alastair,
Ya, I figured that is the reason that Bali did
not get affected..
But when I look at the map and see how close it
is to Jakarta and those other places, it does
seem impossible that Bali would not have been hit also.
I thought among the strange things of this tsunami
was that parts of Ethiopia were affected. 12974. Magoseph - 12/31/2004 4:47:17 PM Good morning. I'm back in business now after a whirl of visitors up here-- I wish you all a happy new year. 12975. wonkers2 - 12/31/2004 5:52:48 PM Good morning, Mago. Happy New Year! 12976. Magoseph - 12/31/2004 11:31:32 PM Ah, merci, Won--Bonne Année! Do you have plans for tonight? Are you going to welcome the new year, or are you going to be sound asleep as I will be? 12977. wonkers2 - 12/31/2004 11:42:09 PM We'll probably be sound asleep, too! 12978. wabbit - 1/1/2005 12:39:55 AM Nous aussi. 12979. arkymalarky - 1/1/2005 1:47:06 AM I have my air conditioner on. This is ridiculous. 12980. arkymalarky - 1/1/2005 1:48:19 AM I hope everyone in and associated with the Mote has a great New Year! 12981. judithathome - 1/1/2005 3:59:32 PM Happy New Year, Moties!!! 12982. thoughtful - 1/1/2005 4:26:23 PM 
12983. wonkers2 - 1/1/2005 5:13:40 PM Feliz ano nuevo, amigos! 12984. The Summer Woman - 1/2/2005 12:35:25 PM Mago, Judith, et al - Happy New Year!
Mago - I was in Paris over Christmas! 12985. seadate - 1/2/2005 8:54:08 PM Greetings, Moties ...
Thought I'd drop by and say hello ... it was nice to hear from Judith a couple of days back.
Nice to see you here Frank!
