So Patty told me that I should update my website, so I took his advice. I guess a lot has happened since the eighth of August. Since then I have decided not to go back to camp for a full eight weeks. Instead, I am going to go for precamp, possibly be home by the time kickball rolls around. And then I have a Summer to take advantage of. I have considered riding my bike to the Field of Dreams, which I can just see as being an absolutely awesome experience. I am also planning on going up to the Boundary Waters in August. Between then, I hope to work on finishing my new basement, and then build a computer, possibly do summer theatre, work out every day, and hang out with my friends. I guess I'll see how it all works out. This is my first summer home in a decade, and I intend to take advantage of it.

This weekend has been awesome. Yesterday, we won at bowling in the championship round. It was great, and Rob, Charlie, Pat and I put in a valiant effort throughout the entire season, and stepped it up. I finished with an average of about a 134. I'd say that that's a fairly decent bowling average for someone that doesn't put curve on the ball. Afterwards, I had some Chipotle, which I hadn't had in about three weeks. It was outstanding. Afterwards, I ran an errand for my dad, and dragged Pat along for the ride. We had to bring these absolutely massive pieces of wood down to his factory. Afterwards, we went to Walden and threw around the bee, went back to Pat's, Rob and Charlie came over, and we went back for MORE FRISBEE!!! After that, we went to Chilis and Gatto got asked to prom by Amanda. Then, we went to Maplewood for MORE FRISBEE. Then it was off to Zach's house so that we could watch Family Guy. If you haven't seen it, see it tomorrow. It's a hysterical show. At around 11, Pat and I went to crew, and put in some late hours. This morning, I woke up and went to run the Jew Show. It ran well, but the first hour, they were livid because of the condition the stage was in. They looked at it two weeks ago with the dance show setup, but everything has changed. It was fun though. The funniest part was a dance, which consisted of a woman dancing in a blue sack, underneath the AIDS quilt, celebrating Holocaust Remembrance day. Afterwards, I hung out with E for awhile, then came home, relaxed, then played MORE FRISBEE, came home, ate dinner, did some homework, and wrote this massively long post.

So the other major thing going on right now is prom. I asked Candace to prom two weeks ago. I did it over the Scoreboard at COMISKEY park.(Like I'm going to give that damn cell company free publicity!!! Not on this webpage). It came up over the scoreboard after the second inning, and I pulled out a rose, and she accepted. I was really pleased with the night. I had known that I was going to ask that way since last October, I just had to find the right girl. (Sox won 5-3 against the Indians by the way). Beyond that, prom is all that gets talked about anymore. People are even talking about trading dates so that everyone is happy. I think that's absolutely absurd, and I'm sorry, but I don't care if I offend you, on this webpage, it's crazy.

I see you've got your fist out, Say your piece and get out Yes I get the gist of it, but It's alright. Sorry that you feel that way The only there is to say: Every silver lining's got a touch of grey...Oh well, a touch of grey, Kinda suits you anyway-Grateful Dead (What an awesome couple of lines. I can really connect to it right now. I guess I Will Get By, I will Survive. Recently, I've really been able to relate because I've felt this way recently. A touch of grey suits you anyway. Wow.

Well, Pat, I posted, Put that in your pipe and schmoke it!!!!

It's been long enough since I last posted. Canada was great. The Skiing was beautiful. We went up to the Glacier a few times, and I was knee deep in powder and ripping it up. It was amazing. On my last run, I decided to try a double black diamond. I think I did fairly well. I knew that if I had broken my legs or something, it was the last run and I wouldn't miss any skiing time. My family got to meet up with Lee Cush and Mark Horsley. (Two camp counselors). Mark is on his way to England in a few Months, and Lee is coming back to camp!!! It was great to see both of them and toss around old tales. When two or three shall meet!!! The transition back to school has been fairly easy. And I'm pretty happy with the way everything is going right now. I sent in my deposit to Cincinnati today, and I must say that it was a bit difficult to do, but very rewarding to finally be finished searching.
