Nice Pics Ben... I wish I were there.

Air show on Wednesday was sweet, it was in Cheyenne. Click for a nice picture. (800k) Very nice weather, but not too hot. Being prepared does make a difference. We had a gallon of gatorade and water, chairs, blanket, and two strollers. Jordan got personalized dog tags made for him for free. All they wanted was his graduation date and home address. I figure they'll be knockin' on the door about then. They had some cool recruiting displays and some fun stuff. I got some good pictures.

Today the Blue Angels spent all day practicing over my house and flew over work several times. I rode home via the airport (the airshow is right here at the Fort Collins/Loveland airport) and got to see them land and park and stuff. Those planes are too cool. Jordan said they came closer to our house than we got to the Thunderbirds at the airshow in Cheyenne. Should be fun on Saturday. Feel free to come, one and all. Everyone's welcome to stay at our house. Either way, I'll post the pictures after the show.

Jordan and Alan finished baseball this week. Jordan had two hits and three RBI's in tonights game. I raced my bike at lunch and I wasn't last. I was fourth from last, but this is good, considering I'm usually last in that group of riders.

Julie's sister, Raelynn, is staying with us. She's a lot of help around the house, and she has a full-time job now. She's leaning toward keeping her baby, instead of giving it up for adoption.

Happy Thursday everyone! Ben, where are the airshows that you are going to this weekend? It sounds like a lot of fun. We really enjoyed the one at Hill AFB after the family reunion last year- it would have been even better had we been a tad more prepared- with water, food, shade etc. Oh well, that's life huh?!

I got the stingrayII package from golfdiscount.com. Thanks for the tip Chris!

Jarom- at least your story has a happy ending. My keys were "misplaced" by jackson last week and we still haven't found them. It wouldn't be so bad if there were not keys to the greenhouse and physiological ecology lab on the ring. Those keys are hard to replace, not to mention it hampers my progress at work. Andy- any new clubs yet?
Tyler- what do you know about tommy armour 845's and top flite xl 2000 irons. I have read good reviews on the web for both. there are good prices on the web for both sets. those seem to be the best new clubs for the money that I want to spend. would it be better to look for a used set?

Wow Ben that sounds like a ton of fun. Jarom I am happy to say that I have only locked my keys in the car once and that was enough. I was pregnant and so there luckily was no kid to lock in there yet.

That's funny Jarom. Julie has locked the keys in the car more than once, though not yet with a kid actually in the car. I remember when Andrew locked himself in Tyler's Ferrari (or was that a TransAm?) it was too funny.

Jarom (and anyone else who cares) the movies of the F-14 breaking the sound barrier (very cool) are here and here. I like the second one best because it sounds so cool, but the first one has the best picture of the actual shock wave forming as a cone behind the plane. Just getting pumped for the Thunderbirds tomorrow and the Blue Angels Saturday. This is like my most favorite week ever.

So...
Here I am studying furiously for the upcoming bar exam and Jen calls me on my cell phone. "I need you to come home...quickly." "Why?" I ask, a little worried at the sound in her voice. "Ethan's in the car." My response: "So?" "Well, mmm,...you see, the doors are all locked." OK. "So tell him to unlock them" (he knows how - prior experience). "Well, mmm, you see he didn't lock them and he can't unlock them because, well,....um...he is buckled into his car seat." Oh, let me get this straight: "You locked our son in the car, in his seat, WITH the car keys?" (Long pause) "Yes." I can't wait to hear how this happened. "I'll be right there." It looks like time for a break from studying. I was getting hungry anyway.
