I can't believe you think you're not the creative one!!! I always thought you were so much more"talented" than me. I think we all have strange perceptions of ourselves. And really, Eryk is the only one who can come up with great stories on the fly, but he can't draw for shite! I can tell okay stories, and draw middling well, and I like making weird things out of cloth. You are amazing with the sewing machine, and you were always the best drawer, PLUS you've written real stories that may not be spontaneous, but are actually good.

I wish you could come to Sullivan with us without the kids becoming snot monsters - it is always fun when you are there. I'm hoping that when Brian and I have a house we'll be able to run an air filter in part of it to make it habitable for you guys.

And just think about how much MORE fun our adventures will be when we can share them with the young'uns :)
