Hey Gary you should make some new fakes and if you need me and teghan can help!!

I would love to make some new fakes. The hard part is ideas. Start thinking up some ideas and we can do them next time you come to my office! --Gary

When I got to my office this morning, I found a note on my door which had gotten taped there last night without my seeing it:

Hi Gary. Good Morning. Get your work done! Love Teghan & Tristen

Lunch was delicious. Yes, we did go to the trayless tray place. No, Gary is not getting work done, but he said that was cool. Teghan was on a chair in Gary's office and it fell over and she got a scratch above her nose. It hurt at first and Teghan says it still hurts a little but we put ice on it and she's watching a Spongebob on the computer. --Tristen

Yes, I got it. Thanks, Emily! I'm still finding pages I have to fix because of the windstream/windstream changeover. But it did arrive. First activity on that page in a long time. :-) Read it here! --Gary

It reminds me of the two guys that raised a lion cub then released him and met again years later...

Those lion-guys were on TV yesterday, and gave an update on Christian the lion. They met the lion again about a year after that famous YouTube clip. The lion was much bigger; in fact, a wildlife expert there gave the opinion that Christian is now probably the largest lion in Kenya. But their meeting still had that same puppy-dog feeling as before. Even so, they said, they let the lion "set the agenda." He would walk into the camp in the evenings and hang out with them, and they had some great photos of the three of them sitting together. That was all years ago. Another lion expert in Kenya said he had seen Christian at a distance, once or twice after that last meeting. But for several years now there has been no sighting. They thought Christian had probably migrated to the north where the game is more plentiful. The two guys had written a book on Christian years ago, but they have just recently updated it with this latest stuff and it's on the stands now. Plus they also wrote a children's book about it. --Gary

For the record, our new URL is: http://home.windstream.net/ga55637

Our new double-secret contact page has a different address too, and I'll send everyone another email with that info.

Beautiful day here too, finally. Thanks for the kind words. SFO week was enjoyable for me too. --Gary

What's everyones plans for St. Pats? I don't even think we'll get corned beef & cabbage, Tristen has dance til 630, then a band concert at 7. And Ryan has his Trig final that day. So, maybe next year.....

Nice weather!

Too bad you will miss the CB&C. As to the pictures, how about something like this: You bring the pix to Grandma's (like on a Saturday night when you can make it), we'll hook up a microphone to her computer, then do a slideshow. As the photos go by, you and Tristen and Teghan (and Ryan, if available!) can make comments which the microphone will record. I'll write up the comments, pair them up with the pix, and do a "Washington Week" with 'em. Deal? --Gary

(I called Olivia today to tell her about a horse show at the Lancaster Bldg. this weekend. It sounded like something she would love.)

Yeah, we did a great many of those things when you and Karen came to San Francisco. --Gary

Some cool photos here of a dolphin meeting a tiger.

And here's something worth watching, if you have 15 minutes to spare. It's a commencement speech given by one of the most influential persons of our century -- Steve Jobs. Along with Steve Wozniak, he invented the personal computer; and later in life he began Pixar Studios. An interesting guy, and an inspiring speech:

Great picture of Erika as she goes out clubbing. Thanks! --Gary

Hey, do you remember "San Francisco Week" on our site a while back? (Seems like just a few months ago to me, but in fact it was more than a year ago....) Anyway, I'm working on "Another San Francisco Week," to start Monday the 9th. It's about half done, so it just remains to be seen whether I can finish the last few days of it before it's time to put 'em up! :-) So at the very least it will be "Another Two or Three San Francisco Days," starting Monday. Hope you enjoy.

I missed seeing you last night, Tristen. Can't wait to hear all about your trip. Teghan learned a lot while she was there.

Well, I know there are a lot of cat-lovers out there. :-) --Gary

Marsha & Sam, we'll be mailing yours today or tomorrow. I'll send you an email with the total & our address.

Thanks!
