Hey everyone,

I just spoke with Ryan, and he's doing fine. Well, as fine as he can be -- he's been on bedrest with a virus, but he's doing much better now. He's out and about and bouncing back like he always does. We haven't heard from him in a while because he was sick and because of the Internet problems. But don't worry -- he's doing much better and says hello and he misses everyone. He's gotten lots of packages and letters and loves them! Thanks to everyone who has sent something.

He also sent me a few pictures, and I put them in the image galleries (at left) under In Iraq (Jan. 05). Hope you like them!
