Hi Scribe! Nice to see you once in a while-hope you are enjoying our Minnesota Summer :)

aw, what the heck?

afternoon, ralph.
Amy is beautiful! Welcome back!
Slogging, slogging, slogging

Joes abound!
...and not to intrude, but I scored a job I've wanted for a looong time this week! I am now the new photographer for "The company that takes school photos" ...Only bad thing is that my time will no longer be laced with such freedom, but, this is much more "career" oriented than singing telegrams. Hope all things are cooler with all of you!!!
Hey KT! Congratulations on the new job!
I got some exciting news today. My son, who is in Michigan finishing his thesis for his masters has applied for the Peace Corps. Part of his email this morning...
I got into the Peace Corps!! Well, sort of. I've been nominated at least. Now I have to be officially "invited" by the DC office, which won't happen until I pass medical clearance. But for now, I am nomintated to a Parks and Wildlife position in Central Asia (countries that end in the letters "-stan" like Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazikstan (spelling)...) departing June 11, 2003. Cool huh?! I'd be helping them develop and manage parks (like state parks and national parks) and teach English to my counter parts. I'm so excited!!
Terry V. YAY for your son!!! My Mom was in the Corps, stationed in Lesotho, Southern Africa (she's 72) 'tis a good thing, the Peace Corps. ....But who is "stan", and why do so many countries' names end in it? Hope you're relaxing a bit this summer, and finding a way to counteract the humidity.
KT - AC is the answer to the heat and humidity. I plan to be relaxing this weekend once we get up north later tonight.
Besides getting new jobs, you doing anything fun, relaxing and cooler?
...and not to intrude, but I scored a job I've wanted for a looong time this week!
intrude? you? never. congratulations on the job! nothing like doing something you love and getting paid for it!
terry, ditto what kt said about your son!
so how is everyone?
Good to see everyone popping in!
KT- Congradulations on the job! Very Cooler!
Terry- Congrats to your son! You have some good kids, lots to be proud of! (Although I'm sure I'm not telling you something you don't already know :)

Congrats Scribe, although you didn't show me any cooler crew love. :)
she didn't show me any either. she must not love us anymore.
Congratulations Scribe!!! Way to go!!!! You don't need anyone adopting you. You're doing just fine.
Kids - any date for the wedding yet?
Speaking of drinks - someone was - I'm getting hooked on Vanilla Coke. Memories from high school days I guess. Great stuff!
Had a great weekend up north...just wish it wasn't over so quickly. At least this will be a short work week. Busy as busy can be - but short.
Getting ready to hit the hay here so I'll just say goodnight, SCDs and MCL!
Stay cooler!
gonna be a short week here too. needless to say, i'm getting a nice early start to it tonite. yay me. gotta have some stuff done by the time the rest of the people get in tomorrow morning. depending on how late it is, i may not be in tomorrow morning. things like this have been known to keep me up till 3 or 4 in the morning. arrrrgh!!!
Terry- No date set yet. We've been trying to figure out where to have the wedding. Here or SD. Also trying to figure out how big the wedding can be, who to invite, etc. Not very easy when you live 5 hours apart. As of this point, we're leaning towards a very small ceremony with immediate family and grandparents. Most likely to be held at the Frog Pond, since it was where we were engaged and we'd like an outdoor wedding. The Twin Cities is better for having it, since my grandparents couldn't make it there, and hers would be flying in (easier flying in here than there). We're slowly getting things figured though!
How is it that between the computer and bed that so much craziness can occur? A couple of phone calls and what was supposed to be a goodnight's sleep will be shorter than good.
Ares - Don't stay up all night!
Kids - The good thing about the Frog Pond is if case of rain, there's always the conservatory and that's almost like being outdoors.
Going to try this again. Goodnight! SCDs! MCL!
i'm hoping i don't, terry. i'm fighting sleep right about now. but i gotta get this done....
Ares, imagine if you had children and a wife to please on top of no sleep :)
WAY TO GO SCRIBE! Since it is morning I am raising my coffee!
Ian-your drink looks lonely :( but the ice-cubes looks very enticing in this heat :)
Terry- Beans (youngest daughter) and I are impressed with the Vanilla Coke too -look forward to the RaspberryPEPSI due out in the fall!
I will be out at the Mall of America staying cool today. & for those of you who know about Sarah-she is still sick 8 days now and back to the doctor thismorning-strep ruled out-havn't heard on the mono test yet :( --needless to say, I won't be in the cooler thisafternoon :(
Morning Ralph n' Sam :)
Ares, imagine if you had children and a wife to please on top of no sleep :)
yes dear.
hey, its noon somewhere. you can raise something stronger.
it was 130 before i finally made it to bed last nite. and i'm pretty well dazed right now, even after hitting snooze 2 or 3 times.
Ares, You can rest when your dead :)
hey, its noon somewhere. you can raise something stronger.
Not til I get to the lake on Wednesday! :) cannot wait to be up there- VACATION!

Scribe- Way to go! I bet it feels great skating on the cold rink on hot summer days:)
Me2- I hope Sarahs feeling better!
We're up north for the 4th and through the weekend, trying to stay cool and getting things ready for visitors. Going to hang out in Duluth on the 4th, and watch the fireworks lakeside off hwy 61.
Stay cooler everyone!
