In Egypt, on Lake Nasser right now, not back till Feb 6. Lo, I did this before in 2009 as I recall.

Personal: Deborah is holding her own with immunotherapy which will work until it doesn't. We chose not to swim in the Dead Sea in mid-winter but she became famous as the 9km through Petra with rollator woman. Egypt end to end.

I can't bring myself to shoot any spmmers yet, feeling generous!
