Coleman joins a birthday party in New York

After several confirming replying emails, we got to a cyber-cafe, and started up Yahoo Messenger at 9:30 this morning so that Coleman could IM his buddies at Alex's birthday party on Friday night. They enjoyed messaging back and forth for 30 minutes -- we could only imagine the excitement on the other end, as a group of other now-12-year-olds competed to type on the keyboard to their buddy in India. Coleman certainly misses his friends, but this helped keep up the connection.
