Ye Olde Staging Point

Michele is doing well and it sounds like she's settling into the excavation routine over at Ashkelon. I just talked to her for a few minutes this evening, but I foolishly squandered most of the conversation complaining about the cats. Sounds like they're working their student excavators pretty hard--work starts at 5 in the morning and continues through mid-afternoon. Fortunately, I sent her to Israel with this killer arctic camo hat (that's me wearing it on the left) with which to ward off the sun's harmful rays. Dang, that's a cool hat.
