Hope things are going well for you and your family. I see you have a new picture, is the cat yours?
I was in Chicago for my nieces wedding a week ago and spent last week playing catch up. There are 2 weeks left before the semester ends and I get a couple of weeks off. I am hoping the weather cools before the Fall semester get busy.
IM is nice but the time difference and work schedule make calling difficult. I am also concerned you may be busy or otherwise occupied and I don't want to be disruptive.
Have you decided to give Interpals another chance? You had said you were considering dropping it. I hope you are not getting harassed when you are on this site. I have heard that there are some very rude people that have bad intent and have had scammers attempt to rip me off. I guess you need to be careful and block undesirable contacts.
Hope you are having a good week.
