http://www.cornells.org/Mariel A baby shower for Momma Mariel Sat, 30 Dec 2006 18:44:44 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en First off I was swamped this Christmas season and quite a few posts and presents have been delayed until today. I've backdated the posts to when the present showed up so if you're looking for something in particular then you should read through a couple days. Now on to current news: In ... http://www.cornells.org/Mariel/?p=119 First off let me start off by thanking all the Kristin's involved so far for having two "I's" in their name.
