News on the day I get to the News, sheesh

Breaking News: The boy is going to school. We learned this morning that Ian's teacher agrees with my fiscally conservative stance of Ian going to kindergarten next year. She says he is ready and will do just fine, albeit being on the young end of the scale. This is good news as we believe he'll be start to get bored with school if he's to repeat another year of preschool. "Ian is the popular kid," we were told, and he uses his powers for good.

In other news, Reagan is building up pre-teen angst and is refusing UN inspectors in to survey the stockpile. Despite several resolutions, the UN seems unable to know when this time bomb will go and she will cut off all ties to the UN. As evidenced, she was glum during our trip the museum this weekend, unable to have fun with parent types. This bugs me more than words; but I'll have to get over it.

Mel believes I make more fun of her than I actually do. On a side note, I surveyed her Sunday School class this week and she does an amazing job at making the experience fun for the kids in the class. She has 100% of my support.

Robs place in the big city is fantastic and he has rejected my requests for a spare key.

And for Xmas in 07, I'll be getting the Suppes a box of fake meat and perhaps fake cheeses as they positively responded to my thoughts outside the livestock box. Al Gore might call it a livestock lock box; that just sounded funny in my head, not so much in text.

And finally a word of caution. Mario Carts for the Nintendo Gamecube has all four of our family addicted. 2 meals so far have been burnt, bedtimes slightly extended and fingers aching on more than 2 people. On the plus side, we are all communicating better as we play it at the same time.
