It's working in Sam's group. It is temporary but something to get going.

Will you be painting over the silver duck?

Got turned around by mosquitoes, would you believe?

Taping is the best job, no paying attention required.

esSO: Updated mouse count please.

rso: Congrats! What's the new job?

all others: We really will be painting Sunday afternoon and
everyone's invited to help. Payton's room will be purple and
the office some sort of neutral. Much easier taping than a
kitchen and lots of praise to go along with it too!

Congrats Rita!

Best be quick. I start a new job Monday.

that means you're hired for payton's room and the office. when can you start?

After a lot of practice, I quit using tape. Does that mean I paint too much?

don't take the tape down. that way you won't have to tape the next time you paint.

Mouse count for yesterday was three.
Painted office and kitchen last night. Kitchen was DEFINITELY more time consuming. Taping is the worst of all jobs. There's no praise for tapers.

Off to Cleveland for a meeting.

All packed up for 3 days in the back-country.

Moved into 'new' office. Have yet to get key to 'new' office.

Wow! I'm impressed by the Jimmy Carter article.

I'm taking a break day VO and FTD are off to Busch Gardens today. I'm at Panera, only have a half hour on the internet so time is limited.

3 more mice with the buckets today. Traps still zero.

home. feeling much better. still can't capitalize.

Glad you made it back ok. We set up two more traps and caught 3 more mice. There are still only 1000 more to catch!

I will be starting my "new" job on Monday up at Steel Built Corporation. It should be, uh...different? Anyway, it was this or nothing, so here I go. At least I can carpool with Edgardo and have lunch with him.

Lauren and I got home about 8:30 last night and all lights out by about 9:15. We had a great time at the Schmitzes' house! A little sunburned but it was a fun weekend. Lauren and I agreed this morning it feels good to be back to our regular routine - for a couple days anyway.

Thank you again Schmitzes!

Her appendix story is probably way better than my exposed vein in my hand story. Hope she recovers quickly. Gotta get her party on.

Merel and I visited Tracy post-op with Frank and Sandy. We caught her right after the surgery, so she looked pretty tired, but rather relieved to have the appendix out. We left a cribbage board so you can call in a game.

Oh, I hope she is ok.
Michele, I hope you and Lauren had a safe trip home.

Perhaps it was all the stress of you being gone.

Glad to know she is doing well.

I'm not sure what AO did to my wife, but she was just fine when I left here a week ago and now she needs her appendix out!

She'll be in recovery in an hour or so, and should go home tomorrow by mid-day.

Thank you for the greetings and postcards!

wow tiger, you would have made the cut.

feliz cumpleanos eddie! Went golfing to celebrate. 1 birdie, 1 par for you.

Happy Birthday Edgardo!
Happy Anniversary Edgardo and Sarah! 10 years!

cool astronaut!

Thank you Sarah! I can't wait to get there.

Looked up the John Tyler dollar coin, and apparently there is also a new Lincoln penny... but due to the recession, these are not being widely circulated because banks aren't ordering any new coins.

Don't worry. That just means you'll get faster as you get older!

Yes, I couldn't quite catch up with those 50 and 55 year old ladies that were in the top 3 overall! yikes!

A 3rd for Lary and a 2nd for Sarah:
You're all winners!

Yeah, I'd like to try those layers of dough and butter.

...still have not touched the a.c. in minnesota, truck and house both.

Well which is it?
