is that historic kitsch 'gnarly' or ironic retro gnarly?

weekend note 2: i shot my boss in the face. awesomeness. totally gnarly.

you were painting with paintballs?

you're doing it wrong.

weekend note: paintballs taste terrible.

Good to be back in Mt. Pulaski. All of the stuff is hauled in from the car. Tomorrow is soon enough to sort it out and put some of it away. Most of it will just get hauled back out into the car at the end of next week for the trip west.

Saw Rita Scanavino in church today. Her face is healing nicely, all cancer cells were removed with this last surgery and she is doing well. Her mom is out at Vonderlieth recovering from her surgery.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ERIC & MICHELE!!!!!

I suppose turnabout is fair play. As I remember, we ended up taking Rita and Adrienne swimming that night because we knew someone with a pool.

Sandy's been singing improv songs, her favorite is 'Do-Run-Run'.

Somebody told me that her name was Sandy, da-do-run-run-run da-do-run-run. And so I gave her a piece of candy, da-do-run-run-run da-do-run-run.

ao - glad to know I contributed to your permanent attachment
to the college life. Those were some of the best years of my
life. If you can continue those years you are lucky!

esSO - it ends with "Girl, you just got dissed!" We asked
Lauren what dissed means. Fortunately she had no clue.

Let me see your party moves?

Yeah probably because I was 17 already went I went to a college party with you. Maybe it was all that early partying that I did that help me get the Ph.D., and never leave college again.

Well I'll tell you that I'm not sure I want you watching my kids in the future. Lauren learned a new song/dance from her Ray family cousin, Luke. It makes me feel old.

esSO - its similar to the "Let me see your disco moves".

I think you're remembering it wrong, because I remember going to a college party with you, Tracy, and Sarah, but I don't remember Veronica being there. But Dad still being alive, which means I had to have been younger than Frankie. This may explain why Sarah doesn't want me watching her kids.

I asked permission first.


Actually, the text came after the realization that Frank is as old as I was when taod took me and Veronica to our first college party. Now, how old do you feel?

Yeah, I heard Rita took my son out partying.

Frank and I are in LaFayette now.

Do men come to work on your driveway about every other week?

Yes, I read about morrell hunting in "The Omnivore's Dilemma" it was very interesting. I guess there are lots of people in CA that do that too. I'd love to try them.

Good thing I moved the cars this morning then. Have a safe trip Mom & Frankie!

Yes, that's the one. It takes 20 minutes to get up there so if you can get here by 5:30 and then we'll catch dinner afterward.

ESSO: The men are working on the driveway right now. And, Nicco is sleeping on the couch, about five minutes into watching TV he gave out.

I was thinking between 5 and 6 for arrival, we'll see when we leave Sarah's. I'll call you on the road to let you know what time it looks like. Is this the church gym where we can walk while you play volleyball?

Mom- I don't know what time you were targeting for arrival here but we have a voleyball game at 6 tonight if you want to watch. The house will be open either way.

I have athlete's foot. Oh, and I'm a fun guy.

MSU has a mycologist on staff. She gave me a bucket of morrells. two points!

Josh Nauman's dad ran the IL state tourney for mushroom hunting.... Participation points?!?!

It is also very popular in IN although it is mostly morrells they hunt for. My former boss paid $80 for two lbs so they must be fairly rare.
