Happy New Year,
Here
are some of my backlogged Mars images. The planet appears normal for the
season. The SPC is tiny but still visible.

Happy Birthday!
Hi Masatsugu, Happy Birthday #63!! Of course, I have had another "senior
moment" and have lost your exact birthday date, but I do remember that it
is around this time. (I have a photographic memory -- but no film!)
Congratulations on the fine job you and the
CMO did this year on the Mars apparition and dust storm. As always, it is a
great pleasure working with you.
Hope you and your family are well.
Best regards
and happy birthday again,

Dear Masatsugu, I will now remember your birthday! Have stored it in your file.
Of course, I will probably misplace the file by next year!
Dave Moore is not old: I would estimate he is
in his late 30s. Chick Capen, Jeff, and I met him about 20 years ago at an ALPO
meeting. We all went out to a bar for some beer, and Dave was not old enough to
drink at that time!. Dave is a really nice man and is doing some first rate
work. Hopefully he and people like him will carry on our work in the future --
the distant future, since you and I won't be stepping aside for a LONG time!
I do have a backlog of Mars observations (12-20, 12-28, and 1-14). Since we were
out of town during much of the holidays and then had relatives visit, I haven't
had time to process them. Will hopefully get them to you by the weekend.
Best,
