Antarctica Again!

Yes, yes, yes, I know it's been awhile but really who reads this thing any ways? I spent a scant 3 weeks back in the states catching up with Scott and my folks and now......Ah Antarctica, this time the other side, McMurdo Station. I'm here without my truly significant other half and am trying to make it through day by day. I've found out that several other gal pals are also here without there other half and we may form a support group or just take to heavy drinking alone in our rooms. Yes fortunately I still have a few friends here who continue to make the same mistake I do and return but I suppose during these trying economic times a paycheck is a paycheck and you go where the money is. Scott was given a job on the North Slope in Alaska and I'm sure he'll be an outstanding asset to Ice Services. He was disappointed that I was still going to head to McMurdo but it's only for 3 months I hope and I've made it through 1 week already, 11 to go. I'm helping to burn the clock by playing some music here and have recruited the lovely Ms Fabre to learn to play drums so time will tell if we make it to play out in the bars or are just happy plugging away in the band room. I've yet to take a picture here since I've taken so many in the past but I know the folks want to have something to look at so I'll do my best.
Cheers
