Hi.

I'm home after nearly fourteen thousand miles, twelve airplane trips, three very different climates, and a lifetime of memories. Although I was in the Arctic, it has taken New York to claim "the blizzard of the century." As I sit at my computer watching the rain, I wonder what happened to all the snow. They say it's coming - I just have to wait.

The Alaska kids would love the "New York Snow Panic of 2001". The weather people threatened us with the worst storm in fifty years. And everything stopped. The supermarkets were stripped bare of food, schools were closed, airplanes cancelled, and workers rushed into New York City to camp out on any available couch. There was a rush on batteries and show shovels, and a loaf of bread was harder to find than a good weather report.

The snow finally arrived - about 14 hours late.

Honey I'm home!

I'll keep you updated as the weeks pass and perhaps you'll join me on my next trip to Washington, D.C. in May or my Black Sea journey in July. My novel, "Virtual Terror", is doing very well. You can get your own copy or just check out the scary cover at www.firstpublish.com If you want to play the quick-game of "Virtual Terror", click here. My next book, "Matthew's Web" (the first in a mystery-adventure series for middle school aged kids) co-authored with Donna Paltrowitz, is scheduled for a June release. I'll send you more information as we get closer to the publishing date.

In the meantime, thanks for coming along. We had quite a journey.

Jeri
