Happy birthday, Mr. Kevin Walsho. Hope you have a great day today. How is the new job going? JH

Too many people have birthdays around this time. Of course that is not a good excuse for forgetting to post a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our own Maurissa Horwitz on September 23rd. So sorry, Mo Dee. I hope you had a great day on your birthday and a great weekend too.

1) Congratulations, Kristin. That is exceptional news.
2) Happy Birthday, Rob - one day late, as always. Oh well. It's the belated thought that counts, right?
3) Congratulations to Doug and those silly Canucks for winning the world championship in hockey. too bad we may not be seeing any NHL games for quite some time though.

Congratulations Kristin!! That's awesome! Hope medical school is going well for you. You can tease them all that you're already a doctor...but that might not be the best way to make lots of friends.

Caleb had to go to the emergency room again this week. (He's fine.) Nine months old, two visits to the ER and he hasn't even started walking yet. Yikes. Josh says I have to get used to it because a) he's a boy and b) he's a Papsdorf. Apparently, Papsdorf men go to the emergency room a lot.

We just spent the afternoon with Rob and Devon, Ryan and Bo and Devon's mom and stepdad in New Jersey. Rob and Josh amused each other with stories of Lincoln (and other college antics). We hear they visited the Mazzuccos yesterday. Aidan went from crawling to walking in 60 seconds...It made us wish we could see them more often.

Kevin? Aren't you on vacation? Shouldn't we be hearing from you about the new place?

Hi there,
I finished my Ph.D. officially yesterday--got final approval of my revisions. It's quite a load off and I'm hoping to enjoy life a bit more now.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Miss you,
Kristin

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUGLAY. hope you have a great day.

Hey Douglay. I was watching that domination of the Yankees. Unfortunately, the Indians have been soundly beaten in the two games that followed, but it was fun while it lasted. Any time you can smack the Yanks around and piss off George Steinbrenner, even if it is short-lived, is well worth it. How are things with you?

Have a great Labor Day weekend, everyone.

Jon, I hope you were watching the beating that the Yankees absorbed last night.

I was flipping between that and Canada's win over the United States in World Cup hockey. That game was nowhere near as close as the score indicates. I'm really hoping Esche doesn't repeat Richter's performance from 1996.
