Kids rode the Streamline (local bus) to meet Frank & I downtown for lunch. Now they are walking down to the swimming pool to meet some friends. Then they'll walk home after swimming. I LOVE this age!

No pictures, but it did happen. Cool 'end of band camp' show last night. FrankT was lookin' sharp. They even had a cool drill-down competition. FrankT lasted about halfway. We'll be putting up lots of video of him marching in uniform soon! And if anyone cares to join us, we'll be going to Spokane Oct 9-11 for the marching band competition. We're so sorry you moved AO!

I feel like sitting around airports all evening... good thing I choose Philadelphia to fly through today!!

I'm back in Mt. Pulaski and don't plan to leave until I head up to Racine for the end of summer picnic at the Wisconsin Ohler's.

I guess I need to educate Eric the same way I educated matto. Juju can not be photographed.

Yea, Best Western still had a room. See you in September people!

ao clearly hasn't been paying attention to her steeley dan lyrics. william and mary won't do.

I think I may be visiting William and Mary in January. Looks like our timing is a little off.

matto: please send pics of your juju.

A Virginia Ham?

last call on anyone wanting anything from Virginia...

what did I say? this is hurting my juju.

sorry, the net was down. Hope you had Happy Birthday's F&F. Brandon, May the grace of Farve be with you.

May want to look up the "broken window" fallacy.

Glad you're buying into the whole "spread the wealth" program. ; )

but mine is a negative trade on houses so although the realesate people, the appraisers, the HOA, the inspectors, lawyers, etc are going to be getting more money I am just losing it.

Brandon, we are here for you. And the silver lining is that they did not also acquire Vick.

So, now we have two people buying homes? We are really helping this economy recover! Way to go ohlers!

Brandon: Based on my embedded exposure to all things green and gold for the last 9 years I can only offer you this one
reassuring piece of advice. It's no longer 'your' team. This is Favre, the 33rd NFL franchise.

In the immortal words of many of the faithful:
So long, you will be missed Brent.

After the shocking news of the day, I know many of you are concerned for me and my overall mental health. While I cannot confirm nor deny the allegations of an alleged profanity-laced tirade this afternoon at my place of work, I can tell you with certainty that Rita and I are moving forward and are more committed to our lives together each day. Certainly life consistently deals us all challenges and adversity that we are not fully capable of absorbing or understanding in this, our current state of consciousness. We can only look deep into our own souls, deciding with conviction how we will accept and adapt to less than desirable situations which are presented to us. With that being said, after excruciating self-examination, and a truly humbling collapse of my overall belief system, I can only cling to one indeterminable thought. Brett Favre or no Brett Favre, I am a Minnesota Vikings fan. I ask only for your love and support through these trying times.

made it home. went to tracy's and brought:
an anvil, a balloon, a crowbar, a dog, earmuffs, fungi, a giraffe, hawaiian t-shirt, an icicle, jack-o-lantern, kaleidoscope, leather, mittens, Nathaniel, orangutan, pirate penguins, a quail, a ring, Sandy the snake, tremendously tall trees, unicorn underwear, a violin, Weird Al Yankovic, xeriscaping, a yellow yak, and a zany zealous zebra.

and when i got home, i had new windows in my apartment.

well home inspection wasn't too bad so I am getting used to this house and not condo idea.

You will be able to find my Dutch address in the contacts.

Normal Ohler: good luck with the bank tomorrow!

Happy birthdays Frank & Frank!

Dropped Roman off at the airport. I hope he likes spending the rest of his vacation time there.

AO, you taken up speed dating?

nto...can schmitz.cl get the user-friendly upload with all the bells and whistles? Everyone is sending me their pictures to upload.

Ok, so i uploaded the welcome party invite...
Don't know how to link it to my post but it's in the default folder?? I think.

See you all in a month! yikes!

I'm gonna give myself two thumbs up on teaching today. The afternoon class always goes better than the morning class.

Yes Merel, the Normal Ohler misses you as well. I'll be looking into visiting you as soon as I buy a house. I've got a date with a banker tomorrow.

Yes, Happy Birthday to the Franks!

Excellent time on the 5K Sarah. I'm shooting for closer to the 4th place finisher this Sat. I'd love to come in under 30 but it is unlikely.

Happy Birthday Franks! Was Frankie's birthday celebrated during the 40-40-15 party?

Merel - Friday night I asked Adrienne if she knew your return date. WI Ohlers will miss you. Any chance we can get your contact info updated on Rehlo?

Happy Birthday Frank and Frank!

The US misses you too Merel.

I made it safely to the Netherlands with all my stuff! The
first flight from Bozeman got delayed so instead of an hour
a half layover in Chicago I only had half an hour to get to
my next flight. The plane in Chicago missed its turn to fly
out so it took us another hour to get back in line for take-
off. Therefore the next hour and a half long layover turned
into a forty minute layover where I had to get the last
ticket and go through security again. A lot of running but I
made all my flights and arrived on time in Dusseldorf where
my father and brother were waiting for me.
I miss Bozeman already!

Roman wiped everyone out in poker. Guess he gets to make it back to Minnesota.

esSO: Congrats on the second!
AO: Good luck with your first day of school tomorrow.

It is a waterproof camera that Edgardo bought for his dad. He is "testing" it out before we send it to Chile.



Does the DRM come free with the downloads?




consistently 2nd in my age group.

Testing out the new iPod. Fancy stuff this thing. Corrects a lot of mistakes for
me. "yjong" was changed to "thing" correctly. Though it apparently suffers
from the same end of line flaw as chrome.

Good party for the doughers. And there was much rejoicing.

Is your camera waterproof or is that a disposable?

2 days in methodology training. good news is I won an iPod touch. Now I have to download iTunes to use it.

Nothing but the best for the Doughers!

So is Barack in town for your party too? That's an impressive guest list...
