Celebrate all that you are doing, there in Antarctica, and in your life. Most of the rest of us would love to just eat a cookie in that amazing place. Cheeres to you all.kaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000942436625609573.post-17185194074825034962008-01-15T16:59:00.000-08:002008-01-15T16:59:00.000-08:00To Zach,<BR/><BR/>Greetings from Maine! We had some really nice weather, but it snowed yesterday, and is starting to get cold again. I hope you get your ginger tea soon! I know tea and hot chocolate can really be comforting in the cold weather. I searched for some historical events that you can celebrate:<BR/>January 15th (Today in Maine):<BR/>Queen Elizabeth I was crowned-1559<BR/>Martin Luther King Jr. was born-1929<BR/>First Super Bowl held- 1967<BR/>January 16th (Today in Anarctica):<BR/>U.S. Civil Service established-1883<BR/>Gen. Eisenhower took command of Allied Invasion Force in London- 1944<BR/>January 17th:<BR/>Beatles' album Yellow Submarine released- 1969<BR/><BR/>Ya, I know. Not too much going on. Maybe invent your own holiday? Hope you enjoy the cookies anyways.<BR/><BR/>-Anna-<BR/>CHRHSAnnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03159827489528001905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000942436625609573.post-67829646839858056202008-01-15T13:02:00.000-08:002008-01-15T13:02:00.000-08:00Zach,<BR/><BR/>If you think back to the Antarctic explorers of decades ago, I'm sure you can think of many things to celebrate while you are on the ice:<BR/>-The ability to communicate with the outside world via satellite ... and so clearly too!<BR/>-The ability to eat delicious meals that are prepared for you ... instead of hunting for food cache's or eating seal meat.<BR/>-The ability to bathe whenever you feel the need ... and with warm water!<BR/>-Using snowmobiles, aircraft, and helicopters ... rather than traveling by dog sleds!<BR/>-You are not alone! You have many new friends from all over the globe to get to know and learn to appreciate their varied cultures!<BR/>-Etc, etc, etc!<BR/><BR/>I think you could probably celebrate the fact that you have the opportunity visit a beautiful place that most of us will never, never be able to visit!<BR/><BR/>Each day you are there should be a celebration of each other! You are all so fortunate that you live in the era that you do and that you can explore the wonders of this good Earth ... with relative ease and just minor inconveniences!<BR/><BR/>Now ... go plan a celebration! There are just a few more days for you to appreciate where you are and what you are doing!<BR/><BR/>MischmomSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08355851554796120114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000942436625609573.post-9613366587855311612008-01-15T10:31:00.000-08:002008-01-15T10:31:00.000-08:00Zach,<BR/><BR/>A few things you could celebrate on the 16th:<BR/><BR/>1945: Hitler descends to bunker to remain until suicide<BR/><BR/>1953: Corvette introduced in New York<BR/><BR/>1979: Shah flees Iran<BR/><BR/>1991: The Persian Gulf War begins<BR/><BR/>1997: Raytheon acquires Hughes Electronics<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the Cookies,<BR/>MarkMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15910911012982255388noreply@blogger.com
