Hi Girl,

Sorry for the silence of late. You get comfortable being quiet when you have a rich mustache like mine draping over your mouth

You'll be proud to hear I slept in today. I didn't get out of bed until 9:06! It was so bright I couldn't stay in bed any longer. After showering I worked on my forest sounds until noon, and then went to school. My product designer teammates didn't show, but I did see the work they did on our two cardboard trees. They are quite beautiful (I need to take photos). In the evening, Chao and I worked on figuring out how we'll activate the sounds during our presentation. We found a simple controller that we may be able to use, so there's hope. All the wiring will be a mess, though. As a plan B, I figured out how to activate individual sounds using Bluetooth through my phone. Too much geeky detail, I know!

Two of the advisors on the project were very impressed with both the trees and the sounds, so it felt good to hear their feedback. The main babbling guy wasn't there to give his typical knee-jerk unraveling stream of consciousness critique. I slipped (total count for the winter: 4) right outside the entrance to my building. I had a decent day, so I didn't curse Umeå when it happened this time.

I need to do some more work prepping the sound setup tonight. I'll call later to see how you are. I miss you!

Love,
