Monday morning here--Monday evening there--Hello DAD!!!

Dear Dad,

I miss you.

Mom let's us stay out all night and we've been very very good. I practiced my ninja moves and knocked over the deck chairs. It woke mom up and she came out to see what all the fuss was. She said something about, "get some sleep, little bunnies!" and went back to bed.

I've asked her very sweetly if I can sleep on the big bed too. I know that while you're out of town, there's LOTS of room on your side of the bed. But mom said no. no no no. No way.

She doesn't like me at 2:00 in the morning. Not so much anyway.

I watched a show on the travel channel last night for the 10 greatest natural wonders. I want to go to Africa now--and the Grand Canyon. They showed pictures of people on a photo safari in this giant crater/plain that had lots of animals and big cat preditors. That's for me! I could be a hometown reporter checking out the REAL LIFE action and drama on an African Safari.

And you can ride ponies down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. What is not to love about THAT?

None of the places they mentioned had penguins, which I thought was a real rip. Clearly penguin predjudice. Of all the places to see in the world, how could you NOT have penguins in there SOMEwhere?

Any way . . .

love love love
