    Kelowna, you _make_ Gewurztraminer??? That's BF's fav white, and my second fav after Pinot Gris...

    Kitsune, I thought you were here already.

    Snap, good luck. Where I work, it could take months to find out if you have a new position, kind of like Fish's Bee Doc position. I rarely have to move around, fortunately. I love my position- just not all the lunch stealers and little babies (the adult ones) I work with.

    The first time I took DD to see fireworks, she was about three or so, Fourth of July, and she says, "Mom, can we go tomorrow night?" Like it happened every night, and I'd just not been letting her in on it...

    The first time she went trick or treating, I guess about two? (We lived in an apartment she called Butterfly House because I'd hatched out some Monarchs for her) she went into the first house and sat down on their couch like she was planning on staying the evening! No, honey, we just go door to door and hit as many houses as we can!!!

    My coffee is _finally_ done.

    mud

    LIse, thanks for being my cliff blok, lara/may bar dealer....I've always wanted a dealer..in a good way..

    Fish-would you like me to send you some TimTams for you to share in SF with the other TE ladies???

    We went mtn biking today and saw only one soul. Seemed like a nice gent-we met him at the top of Mt Gungin-he'd just biked up (read:uphill) the little oven circuit without a bike seat as part of his broke...(i'm probably getting a few looks when i talk about our trails here but i think it's easier than saying "up a certain hill & down a certain area..") Luckily for him he's going to be a father quite soon!!!
    I would class him in the fit nutter brigade...he's done the 24hr in NSW three years in a row SOLO..

    Great weather for a bike ride-rainy & muddy...
    Anywho, KY-how long is DPITA away for??? Ya know, i do like the smell of a pipe..It's not that weird dear!

    I haven't had any soft drink (pop to you girls up north...) and fast food (say from mc dork's or pretty much any place really) for about 5yrs now.

    I would love tell you Ian's "pop" and "kitty corner" stories from Kelowna but i don't want to bore you...

    Ooh that might be nice! What are you craving from the US? I'll PM you my address

    And - your body should be thanking you for keeping fast food out of it!



    It's raining today! That's not so good because I was going to ride this morning. However - it's a steady rain (since last night - nice thunder last night) which we desperately need! Gee, how wonderful... now we get to clean the house. Oh what joy that will bring..........not. I'll just have to check in with TD

    Nanci - I had a similar experience with FishJr last July4th (2005). It's great to see the wonder in their eyes when they see the fireworks, isn't it?

    Snap - Good luck with the job application! I'll be thinking good wishes for both of us

    Gosh - I missed a lot of activity last night.....

    Nanci sorry about the DD smoking thing. That's gotta suck. Tell her she can also get PEs if she smokes. (I don't but they're one of the risk factors....) Then she'[d have to join Team Embolism.)

    Snap - good luck with the job app!!

    Lise - a Sox game?? How sporty!! It does sound like it was an amazing show.

    Well, gang, in a couple of hours I am OUTTA here. We're going to Yosemite for the week, and I won't have access to anything which will allow commuication with the outside world. Probably a good thing. But tell my office that...

    I didn't want you guys thinking my PEs had exploded or anything. Rumors of my death....

    Fish-I'd love a pic of haight & ashbury in SF (that's where the hippy rev started in the 60's yes??)...Peanut butter M & M's...

    I'm happy to send you tim tams to share...

    Speaking of junk food-Ian eats KFC, m &m's, coke, v, etc & is healthier than I am!!! I don't get it...

    Cleaning house...we must do that this weekend...after we bike....


    Hey does anyone here use MSN messenger?? If you do, catch up with me...mscherylpr@hotmail.com...It would be really cool...

    Knotted, question: why not take some vacation time and go see DPITA?

    And Lise & KN I get the need to get thing. The things you learn from a workout log/journal. It's been 3 years since the Ex-PITA dumped me. 8-(

    A lot has happened since then, thanks for all the support TE & TD.

    Yes, TE there've been dates, more than probably the previous 47 years (which is not saying much). I'd date more but then I'd have to clean the house, which would cut into bike time ....

    Snap, that sounds impressive! Inhale .... exhale ... repeat as often as needed.

    CC, I use yahoo IM, Microsoft is giving me grief. It was working but now demands I download a new version each time which it promptly won't load ....

    Trek - saving up all my vacation time for moving her back here in December. (when she'll only be on the other side of the continent instead of the other side of the planet)

    'course, that means I'm gonna have to clean the house some time in the next 4 months....

    Need to get one of those spiffy Michaelangelo wall bike racks.

    I should probably vacuum the floor and wash the dishes, too; but the bikes have priority!

    yup, that's DPITA!

    Hey, for Fish's sign at the airport hold up a card that says "Thread Drift"!

    Please tell me I'm not awake *already*

    I get home at 2am. Next thing I know, DPITA is getting ready to head out the door and the phone's ringing. It's 6. The call is from my parents regarding my car accident and the fact that my insurance company left me to the wolves, having me deal with the other company *myself*. ...aren't they supposed to go to bat for you?
    We all chat for an hour... Mom calls me Cutie-Pie and I ask her suspiciously if she's heard anyone else refer to me as such... she says 'no' so I have to tell her about you ladies. She's laughing all over again.
    I'm goin' back to bed, but I'll be back to harass y'all at a decent hour. (in the pm)

    I'll be on official gov't travel - Team Danger may not be the best plan.

    I'll do my best to convince the TE ladies to drive me there so we can take a pic for you I'm PMing you in a sec.

    Kitchen's done - even wiped down the cabinets. Now - onto the living room. FishJr is doing her part in cleaning up toys. That's unusual!

    That is awesome! I think we might have our mascot!



    This site is not letting me type apostrophes again. Very frustrating. I have to talk like Data.

    Hee! It seems as though they would've been able to program contractions into an android, but it was just one of those things that made Data so lovable...

    Wait...now you all know how big of a nerd I am...
