Dear Joseph and Lucia,

I’ve been thinking a lot about you two this morning. I look forward to the day we can have daily conversations again. I want to know all about your daily lives and events going on.

I finally finished a battery of experiments on Cell 5.  They were extremely difficult due to the low water flow that was required. I ended up running the last three manually. My control algorithms just couldn’t keep the cell stable. I’m waiting for the technicians to switch out the units and I’ll do the tests again.

I’m hoping to go home this weekend, but the weather isn’t looking favorable. Looks like I’ll be dodging tornados as I make the trek to Richardson. I missed going home last weekend, but it was all for the better. The weather in Dallas was really bad. It seems that is all anyone talks about anymore. It’s been really nice up here that last few days, but it’s about to take a turn for the worse.

Michèle and I are trying to come up with ideas for a summer vacation. I’m not sure where we want to go.  I’d like to do something new. The beach is always inviting. I sure wish I could stop by Woodville and take you guys with us where ever we go.  I doubt that could happen. Maybe your mom will take you guys somewhere this summer. I like to think that.

Until then, I’ll be waiting.

Love,
Dad
