I just emailed Jan McCombs about how much I missed Bar-B-Q and Cheerwine. These people here in New York have no concept of the finer things. However, they have a casino, and that partly makes up for it. This is kind of a "no-week", it's just "blah." Things are fine at school, temperatures are starting to go down, and this week has just sort of passed us by. The only excitement is from the cat, who sticks his paw under the door every morning at 5:00 a.m. and pulls the door, banging it loudly. This makes Brody and Hooper bark until one of us gets up and lets them all outside. The kids at school asked me today if we were going to dissect anything in Science this year. They always ask that question. One of the kids asked if we could dissect a cat. I said that I thought I could make that happen, especially if certain early morning behaviors continue! Next week should be more exciting...I'm doing a couple of fun activities with the kids, and October is here, finally. We're working on Latitude and Longitude this week, and it's about as exciting as Roach Motels. We are supposed to spend around 10 days on it, but the kids have had it before, so we're moving on. Volcanoes and Earthquakes are next, and with Mt. St. Helens close to another eruption, this unit should be more exciting. On a side note, Doug calls Mt. St. Helens: "Mt. MooFooBooSa." I'm thinking about writing my next book about Doug and the way he recreates our language. For instance, "Antibiotics" are known as "Superfluzzen," the "Chevy Equinox" is called "Chevy EggNog," and "Barbara" is "LoveNest." We need a camera on him at all times. We could sell the footage to ABC and all be super rich. It's getting late, though, so I'm heading off to bed. I hope all of you are well, and I hope to talk to you soon! -Mike
