ps.

ps. I live in hell (only weather wise) and it's still plenty hot, Jonathan. So, this may be a good thing.
I'll let you know if the weather really changes.

FB online

It would be cool if we could play FB online against each other.

FB suggestions

We need to do some voice recordings of Kevin to make the game complete.

"Substitute... Me for You..."
" Come Back, Ma..."
"Alvin Karpis!"
"It's a doublay"

PS. I went on my THIRD date with Anne Marie this past Friday, after which time I still liked her and she was still talking to me. In related news, snow is beginning to fall in hell.

Invitations & FB

I have extended invitations to Lincoln, Tiffany & Jess. Even if they don't sign up for Blogger account, at least now they know where to go for some BLD-related news.

For those who weren't in MN, I have begun work on a Family Business computer game. For now I am concentrating on just the basics (i.e. getting it to run), but feel free to email me with any suggestions for future improvements. Some examples from my wish list:

- a BLD mob
- the ability to create your own mob and mobsters
- funny sound clips (e.g. "kill the cancer")
- different personalities of computer opponents (think of the sims in Perfect Dark)
- statistics
- customized rules (e.g. atomic bomb)


I'm really serious about doing it, I just hope I have enough spare time to get it done in a reasonable amount of time.

ps. It doesn't look like Lincoln accepted the original invitation. Perhaps he could be invited again?

Granted, I'm not savvy at this

I think you have to have been invited, which Lincoln obviously was...and accepted. Then, you had to create a blogger account. But, I don't think that just anyone can access this site. However, somewhere in the recesses of my mind, I do think that Doug has the power to invite people. And,if he doesn't, you can do what Maurissa and I did...use the same user name and password until Kevin has time to straighten it out. But, then Lincoln will be able to post and we'll think it's you.
Maurissa, of course, trusted me...
but...

Missing BLDers

Can anyone access this blog if they have the website address? My user ID and password are saved, so I don't even remember if they are unique to me, or if I needed a special password to join this blog in the first place. The reason I ask is because Lincoln had queried about this blog and how to get on it. I had no idea. I think Kevin started this thing, but he has been so busy lately, I don't think he even checks it. Doug, do you know?

Minnesota was awesome

Hi, Jill.

Minnesota was awesome. It was too bad that not all of us could be there, but it was great to see the ones who were. I also really enjoyed having the opportunity to spend time with Tiffany and Jess Ellsworth, whom I had not seen since the reunion (and didn't even spend much time with them then).

Not a lot of sleep was had, mostly because I was typically up late, and the little ones were typically up early. But the trip was so relaxing that I wasn't really ever tired. The weather was mostly overcast, but it hardly rained, and the temperatures were pleasant.

Unfortunately, I did not have a camera, so no pictures from me. I think that Tiffany was taking some though.

Looking forward to seeing you July 1st.

How was Minnesota?

Who went? Was the wedding great? Does anyone have pictures of Amanda and Jason (and the BLD having fun) they could share? I'd love to see them!

ps. I needed that too, see how delayed I still am?!?!

Anyway, just thought I'd add to Jon's post and say that I was in the slow group when I lived in CA (early primary school). Mostly because I could never spell--truthfully, I still can't.

Anyway, I wish that I had had early intervention or at least phonics. Because, my brother can spell ANYTHING and he had phonics.
I had Whole spelling or whatever that CA hippy crap was in the early 80s--translation: my mom still has reams and reams of "stories" full of mis-spelled words.

oh, and that reminds me, most of my class was born in 82
which, I think, should make it obvious why we don't entirely connect on everything. How are we supposed to relate when they weren't even alive when I was buying Patty Smyth's the Warrior?

Hiya Jon (et. al.),
I give major props to any woman who goes Salsa dancing and I still encourage the Polly movie viewing.
Anyway, in the midst of finals...knocked a class out today (Nutrition), so I'm a little brain dead.
Jill, I'm very interested in the What's going on in there book? For various reasons, all of which are likely obvious.
Anyhooo,
Jon best of luck on Wed. and keep us (me) up to date.
Fondly,
Kristin

ps. Saw Star Wars again on Sat. and still liked it.

Comments?

Doug (or whoever) - how do you change the settings so comments appear on the blog itself when you click "1 comment" rather than that being a link to another page. For example, compare the BLD blog to the book blog.

Thanks in advance.

WATCH POLLY MOVIE

Hey Jon,
You should watch the Polly movie with Ben Stiller & Jennifer Anniston BEFORE Friday's date.
"DO IT"

Maybe it will help?

Way to go Kerriann!

Hey, that's awesome! What are her plans for next year?
Also, are you really living down the street from me and just not telling me? What's with the double names? I thought they only did that in my neck of the woods.

ps. I just figured out how to post without having to do all the sneaky back button pushing that I have been. That said, I like the new format now too.
ps. x2 It will be a LONG time before I get as fancy as Jon with his bullet points and what not

ps. x3 Tell Double Name Take Two that I'd pay good money for pictures of said salsa expedition. BUT, don't tell her that I called her double name take two...I just forget her name while I'm typing and am not savvy enough to look back & not lose my message.

Moving

• I still haven't seen the Star Wars yet. I need to do that.
• I'm in the process of moving into my house. The old address will still work for a couple months, but the new one is 26728 Locust Drive, Olmsted Falls OH 44138.
• Keriann graduated 1st in her class at Magnificat HS and also won the scholar-athlete award (only give to one senior at Magnificat per year).
• Peace out and Go Tribe.
