It's kind of like Smalley's "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it- people like me" skit on SNL.

Digger Dawg - I think you need to chance East Side Digger's preferences to do with cookies. It's automatically logging him in. If you opt out of the cookie thing, you should then be able to log him out and you in. Hope that makes snese.

I'm back. It was a rather slow drive home but otherwise made it with no problems. I'm feeling pretty tired now. It seemed the event went pretty well though. As usual though there were too many people there to meet and not enough time to meet them before they get cold and head home. Maybe we should start pondering indoor events.

Terry- As long as you're in town this week, I suppos I could just come by and get it sometime. I believe I plan on being in that area Tuesday night.

KT - As always...great to be with you. You're a hoot!

JQsGal - thanks for chauferring the green one today. Much appreciated!

Digger Dawg - Good for you! Now you can be yourself.

So Allison,
What was the consensus on the date for your hunt? Will it be in March or ??

Terry

Allison - that could work. I will probably be doing overtime Tuesday - but Inks should be here. Call before you stop to be sure.

An indoor event would be nice - after we rest up some from this hunt.

As I threw all the long johns and wet clothese down the chute today, I was relieved that we wouldn't be needing those for another year.

Most years I'm sad to see the hunt end. This year I'm relieved. Odd feeling.

I met very few people who seemed to want to put it off, so I guess I'll stick with my original date of March 8th. That should be a Saturday and that's when I release the first clue. I think this year I will release them at 6pm since last year I often had to be somewhere by 7pm. But releasing them at 6pm gives people a chance to get the clue and then still go out that night and go look for it. It will be a 12 clue hunt with one clue a day. I'm not sure yet what the prize will be. Last year people contributed money to the pot. I guess we'll see if they do again this year. Otherwise I'll find something for the prize though it may be a bit modest.

Hey all! I am also relieved this particular (or should I say peculiar) hunt is over....but as always I am sad that I won't see many of you on a daily basis for another year! Truely the Cooler Crew is a group of the most special folks on the planet! Thanks to all of you for making the Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt a special and rich event for me and my family! East Digger, thank you so much for the drawing! I am now on a new hunt for the perfect frame! I wish you could have seen my fifteen year old daughters face when she saw it!LOL!

It will be basically the same, excpet for that I try to accomplish whatever it struck me that the PP failed to do. Last year they had a short hunt, so I tried to make a long hunt. This year they had clues that were unsolvable, so my goal will be to have clues that are tricky, but still solvable.

Allison, and where do you have to be at 7:00 Hmmmmm?:) BTW, tell Erica she was a blast to party with last night! Bring her around more often!:)

East Side is sitting here next to me. He said your very welcome and he's glad that you like it.

I often have events for my singles club planned for 7pm.

And Erica is indeed a fun person. I have a lot of other fun people in my singles club as well. Too bad I didn't get more of them to come out.

Last child is in the bath for the night, the laundry is backed up....waiting for the dryer to finish. I haven't updated my quicken for a couple of weeks - okay, most of January...and I really should do that tonight, but I'm not really inclined to.

Dad's on his way to Savoy's to pick up a pizza - can't wait! I'm starved!

I'm looking forward to your mock hunt this year, Allison. I've been able to follow the clues in past years, but something has always been in the way of actually getting out. With this much advance notice, I'll be able to clear the calendar!

I think I'm signing out of here for a bit and get underwater...and then call the oldest child and touch base with him again.

Well even since the hunt ended, I haven't gotten a chance to catch up on any sleep, so I'm feeling pretty tired now. I think I'll sign off for a while and get some reast. I'll be back later tonight and start making announcements.

Just posted a very hearty and a bit syrupy thanks to the pp(small P's) for coming to the Re-Hash. I met most of them and they seemed like a nice group of folks...but I'm with Ter, arms length for now but an open mind.

AW- Dan said he's ready for the mock hunt. March has always been an unbearable month, and we need the diversion. Thanks for all you did at the re-hash. And to everyone else who came, saw, and conquered, cooked, scooped, poured, tossed, and ate

green... AIAB?

I HAD THE GREATEST DAY TODAY!!!!

And for what ittiz worth - QTgal is NOT 'the' hottie! I R!!! Man, I didn't see HER meltin' HER pants! Now izz that not a Hottie? One that can melt their pants? See. I rest my case. You should see me when I really get going... It ain't just my legs that start melting things... :D

The snow is so nice... I loved the fire down at the pit. I was so warm and everything was so pretty and ethreal (did I spell that rite??).

All the regulars that have joined over the years... New babies not met before... New folks that had been lurkers or Un-Believers... Kids that were babies that are now youngsters or young men and women...

I swear there is no greater group o'folk than this St. Paul sub-culture known as "The Cooler Crew." I am very very proud to include myself within the ranks as a 'Head, and love you all. You guys are the BESTEST!!!

And Coolerheads WILL prevail in 2004. Cuz I'm really sick o'this shit of us NOT!!!

SCD and MCL to each and every one o'you. You're all special, important people. Thanks for helping to make my day great, fun, happy, loving and FANTASTIC!!!!
