I'm here but don't have a buddy to chat with. This could be problamatic since I'm not ever 'double-booked' with anyone at work. IM may not be practical - I'll have to schedule ahead the next blog so I can coordinate with someone to chat with. We'll see how this plays out. Other than this little glitch all is well.

my first blog

Well I did it - my first blog. I am very proud of myself for having done this. This bodes well for the rest of the program.
Did I mention my summer plans? My family is hosting a little boy from Belarus for six weeks this summer. We are going to fatten him up with loads of fresh fruits, vegetables, vitamins, ice cream, and all manner of chocolate goodies. We are planning camping trips, hikes with lots of kids, swimming lessons, and even some Wii time when it rains. His name if Ivan (pronounced Evon), he is 12 years old, and speaks no English. Wish us luck! More later.
