Hey kids, Nothing of note to add tonight, just thought I would let you know I was lurking around. Just got in from the movies: In The Cut (very wierd, still not sure if I liked) and Human Stain, also still digesting (Movie hopping is one of my favorite hobbies 🙂 Maureen, when do you have to take off for Ohio. I was actually being kind of serious about watching the cows. Being a city kid, I really enjoyed just being in the woods, or watching a pasture, very soothing, from time to time I miss it. ---

Drive safe, I suspect you will post before you leave sunday, but in case I miss you, have as good a trip as one can have in Dayton. And I am with on Ohian Mexican food. They have great Mexican food in Mexico. Now if you want a good steak, I am betting you can find one. Also good home-fries country, or for that matter anything done with a potatoe. Avoid the grits. There are those in Ohio who think they are southern and so think they can make grits, they are wrong. Night all -I ---

Hi all! Long time no see. It’s been the week from hell. The peepee sweater incident should have been taken for the warning it was. It was one of the better things that happened… But in the meantime, I threw together a quick webpage for some friends you guys might get a kick out of.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Maureen \* > \*\ ***Dave** , darlin’, you got WAY too much time on your hands. And, I’m thinking you need to get out of the house. Soon. \*\* 😛 I was actually looking for something. Besides, I _did_ get out of the house, yesterday. Okay, so it was the first time in days, but it was also the first sunny day, in days. I got in the car and went for a drive, and ended up at Walden Pond. Then I remembered that Walden Pond is incredibly boring, so I kept going, and ended up at Great Meadows National Wildlife Preserve, which is much more interesting, where I spent a couple hours wandering around taking pictures of…well…mostly dead leaves and grass and geese. But, it was still way more interesting that Walden. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Simple Dreamer \* > \*\*Oooo… **Davebear** I could actually use me one of those pans. \*\* HAH! See, Mo?
