The girls and Eric made slime this morning and now we are getting ready to go to a stage production of Charlotte's Web. Fun 4th weekend in Bellaire!

My thoughts were running similarly, with craft time sharing
with game time.

Patsy just called to say the air-conditioned tent was awful
warm for the reunion this evening. They had about 500
people in it so that is probably part of it. The next two
nights are fewer people so they shouldn't be as warm.

Matthew just headed up to see who was on the square, I
haven't made it up yet. Connie and I are going out tomorrow
and plan to end the day listening to the music on the
square.

I'm thinking that the best beach time is early morning or late afternoon. At least that's the way it was in Cancun. Beach in the morning, lunch, nap (or card games) then pool in the evening. Just a thought. I'm sure we will figure it out when we get there.
Hope everyone is off on their 4th weekend already. We went to the pool and I watched Nicolas swim with no floatie and underwater. He's growing up way too fast.

sorry, should I switch to the i-applied-for-a-different-job team?

the 'team logo' design group is having trouble with some of these names

and what are you doing to the countdown?

and-did-I-mention-that-the-bike-ride-is-up-Kagy-hill?

and-I-have-to-ride-my-bike-home-yet team

I left off the I-rode-my-bike-to-work-and-had-a-tough-gym-workout-before-I-found-the-chicken-missing-so-I-am-so-hungry, part of my team name.

I'm on team hey-that-was-some-good-chicken!

I'm on team who-ate-the-chicken-off-of-the-lunch-platter-I-made-leaving-me-with-only-asparagus-and-rice-for-lunch!?!

who else is on team racer?

really was hoping that one was also going to involve Claus Tanner.

I have sometimes found it creepy to wake up at 4:00 in the morning and have someone standing by my bed quietly, but this morning I took it to new extremes and actually woke up and screamed. I did recover quickly with a kind, "oh, hey Nicolas".

Why that is Vine Street native Claus Tanner himself.

freakonomics

> The study showed states with the greatest expansion of high-speed internet access also had the largest increase in admissions for treatment of prescription drug abuse.

and who's giving the speech at the Lincoln Museum?

yes tracy, yes ao, and yes.

Lauren: I'm also on team Explorer!

they ARE cute.

I love you, AO, and I'm proud that you have something fun to talk about. All I talk about are my kids. Speaking of which, they're so cute....

you and this frisbee bs is kind of like Roman with simpsons quotes circa 2003. come to think of it, surly is both things.

I know a few guys on Surly. 2010 National Champs, baby!

The bad news -- my car lost power over in Decatur, I cruised
to the doctors office at 20 miles per hour.

The good news -- Rita Scanavino was also there for a blood
test so we went out for breakfast, I got ahold of Hayes' and
they came over and towed the car and Rita brought me home. I
had a nice visit with her.

The Santaland Diaries will be performed in Sullivan Dec. 2, 3, and 4th, if anyone is interested in seeing it.

left my phone alone for 2 days and it works again! and it was not you that left me that text.

well, I am on team Karaoke, but right now I probably belong on surly.

who else is on team surly?

Who's on team karaoke?

who is on team explorer?

hey ao im on racer too!!!!

eo: If you really want one let me know via email. I am not sure if I will be able to find one in a store, but I can try, no promises though. I'm leaving on Friday to go to France for work and will only come back the day before I fly out to Houston. Just know that electronics here cost more than in the US, usually the dollar sign is just replaced by the euro sign...

I heard a rumor about Roman and plane tickets.

I've been looking into the samsung galaxy player 50. Are those available in Europe?

You!

13 days left, then hurray Houston here I come!
Excepting cheese, will be bringing lots, anything else I can bring from the Netherlands?

Roman, are you coming to FL? Have a bought a plane ticket or anything yet?

sure beats Uncle Ben's white.
