Where Pooh deduces that Meredith Wilson really knew what he was talking about when it comes to states, even though Rodgers and Hammerstein had better lyrics.

I had the most killer weekend.
It involved the following things.
Driving, eating, driving, star gazing, reading, sleeping, eating, shopping, boating, reading, eating, swimming, SWEATING, walking, eating, SWEATING, boating, reading, eating, driving, PLAYING TETRIS AND SCREAMING OBSCENETIES AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS AT BILLJEREMYMEGHANANDMICHELLE UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, reading, SWEATING, driving, And the most wonderful weekend I have had since the LAST time I was invited down to Bill's folks house.
Bill's parents are really gracious and generous people. They invited the thundering horde, Bill, Michelle, Akira, Meghan, Jeremy and I down to their lake home in Okoboji Iowa for a weekend of rest and relaxation. It was, for me, a much needed and very-appreciated break. We all scored some sun and some fun and I cannot thank them enough. More later... phone is a ringing...
