Forenoon watch, 8 bells (12:06 pm)
Today's my brother Sam's birthday. He just got home from being stuck in Italy. He really was stuck, there was a transportation strike and he couldn't get back to Rome on the train and missed his flight.
I have a totally cool birthday present for you Sammo. I told Jodie about it and she said you'd love it. I just need a way to get it to you. I guess Mom's coming up here this Saturday, so perhaps I'll leave it with her and she can bring it back to you.
