So Melissa's grand plan to visit her Dad for a few days, then head back down to the Seattle area and start interviewing for jobs got completely wiped out this week when three days after arriving, she got a terrible cold, which promptly irritated her asthma. Dang it. She was totally off all the asthma medications on the boat - never being sick and nice sea air having seemed to have cured her. Now back in civilization, we are right back to square one with the asthma. Sigh.
Meanwhile, Dave has started working on Spike this week to get him ready for his annual inspection.
