No Hiking for me

I can't go hiking during the reunion. I'll be on crutches due to a bit of a knee injury.

Still looking forward to the reunion!

So, a video that we have been enjoying in our household lately -- Enjoy.

HEY

Is there going to be a BLD New Year this year?

I think I will just start volunteering people soon.

slideshow?

So, we all went to college before Facebook and things like that. Probably a good thing, all things considered. But we missed out on the opportunity to have our pictures from college life preserved for all posterity.

I think it would be a good idea to put together a BLD slideshow for the reunion, with pictures from our time at Dartmouth. Problem is, I don't have many pictures from that time period. Perhaps if we pooled our pictures together, we would have something to work with. Any ideas on how to do that? (I ask this realizing that I will look like a 12 year-old in most pictures. So please don't let your own amour propre interfere with making this project happen. If you have a recommendation as to how to make this work, SHARE.)

Blog Help

How do I invite Betsy to join the blog?

Mama?

So, Reva consistently calls all men, either in person or in photographs, "Dada." Likewise, pretty much every woman is referred to as "Mama."

Up to this point her accurarcy seemed to reinforce the one thing I remember from Psych 1: that a person's gender is the first, and most important, thing we notice about them.

However, as we were standing in the hall last night Reva very energetically stabbed at a BLD group photo saying, "Mama, mama" with her finger clearly falling on one well known Cleveland Indians fan.

(Please insert your own clever conclusions here.)

You won't believe it till you see it.

This is what happens when you give Ukulele's to the Brittish.

Make sure your children are in bed.

Other notes:

Doug, I thought of you often this week during the Habs-Flyers series, but have been afraid to make contact. I am more, not less, afraid to make contact now that the Habs have lost.

I am amused that the Flyers' team marketing slogan is "Vengeance now." Betsy asked what they are avenging. The only reasonable answer is they are taking revenge on the league for exposing them as the worst team in the league last year. But aren't they really taking vengeance on themselves?

Reunion notes: whose going? What are you doing? We're going, but aren't registering. We'd like to go on a simple hike, but we don't want to pay Dartmouth to have a catered lunch while we do it. We'll bring PB&J and water if we are hungry. We're also going to try to see a couple of locals, and I guess we'd like to coordinate it so we do that when everyone else will be doing stuff that they've registered for. Can anyone comment?

this is not amusing

so i get home yesterday, only to find an envelope from the Boston Red Sox. I hate the Boston Red Sox. What's worse, here is the letter inside:



oh, and let's not forget the insert that came with the letter.



hillary's friend laura, who is my friend too and a huge red sox fan, swears that she did not do this.

that most likely leaves one of my lovely dartmouth "friends," unless the baseball universe is simply playing a cruel joke on me.

come forward and confess your misdeed, young fry of treachery.
