Just a quick update

Unfortunately I only have about 5 minutes to write a little update, so this may come out sounding a bit condensed and certainly a bit rushed, but here goes:

Last week I was snowboarding the French Alps at Les 2 about 2 hours from Grenoble.  I had a great time, the weather was wonderful, and I met some fantastic people on the trip.

As most of you probably know by now, last week was also a difficult one for the Moritz family.  My dad went to hospital with a sinus infection and a very bad headache, but doctors ended up finding cancer in his brain, on his lung, and on his spine.  He had surgery on Thursday to remove the stuff in his brain ("It was rotten from too much Mad Magazine", he told me) and everything went just fine.  He's at home now, eating jello and watching cops with the dog, but he's going to go through some chemo and radiation for the rest of the cancer.  

I got home in the Cope last night around 3 am, and I'm heading out to the Czech republic via bus at 5:45 pm today (translation: sleep, laundry, food, pack).  I don't think I'll have internet access next week, but I'll try to post some pictures and stories as soon as I can.  

Until then, vi ses, hej hej!
