Eric Prowse Boston Marathon Superstar

Time: 2:51:54

Overall Place: 415 (that's out of more than 20,000 runners folks).

It was his best marathon time ever. He is a super runner man.

Melissa, on the other hand, had an asthma attack and pulled a muscle running through the airport to try (unsuccessfully) to catch a connecting flight in Philly. Sad? Yes.

Phila to Chicago

OK! We just bought our tickets to fly to Chicago! If you want to go to a cubs game with us on Thursday afternoon, let me know ASAP.

The case of the missing beer case

We have a mystery on our hands. Seems that a case of beer mysteriousley disappeared from the Groves' garage fridge sometime during or after the party Friday nite. They walked right in and took it. Douglas says he didn't take it so it MUST be someone else. If anyone knows who has the beer please let Aunt Jan know. Seems other beer has been missing from the neighborhood also. Now that you mention it someone stole some beer from the cottage fridge also. So be on the look out and BE AWARE there is a beer thief (that's worse than a horse thief) on the prowl. Until we find the culprit you are all advised to keep your beer under lock and key.

Found the Orges!

Funniest thing EVER...

Grand Marais beach

Doesn't this bring back memories. Let's go again this year. I don't see any ogres though?????

Fashion Forward Lindsey

Where WERE we?

Remember that time when we all went camping in the UP? And there was that lovely beach? And PJ told the guy at the ice cream shop that yes we were from Michigan but no we weren't from down state we actually lived "north of here" even though the only thing north of there was Lake Superior? And I also feel like I remember big jugs of beer? Maybe? And I wore a bathing suit that said "Marlins"? And we have a picture of UJ and UG looking like ogres coming out of the water? I think I was about 15. What was that town/campground/beach CALLED? Anyone? If you help me out you'll ACTUALLY be helping out a wonderful PUBLISHED writer on her next article (see byline above).

I like being right...

A lot. I think it might be genetic. What do you think?

I just had a moment where I was totally right about something and I want to gloat... But I hear that that is unprofessional.

Chicago

Hello All:

Brian Toohy sent me two letters! Very exciting! He is now graduating from Bootcamp on Friday, May 11, 2007. This is very exciting because A. Now I won't miss Mary Lou's big 50th Party at the Tiger Game and B. This is when Lindsey graduates and has her big Fashion show in Chicago. So who wants to go to Chicago with me? Have to go Thursday before, spend Thursday and Friday night, come home Saturday some time. Where are the Groves staying? Great Lakes is north of Chicago about a 1/2 hour drive. Train goes right there. However, Brian can only have four passes to attend graduation and that will be Me, Sarah (the girlfriend), Clark and #4. Brian is going to ask a buddy if they don't use all four of their passes to let us use one or two. He will have from after graduation (11:00 a.m.) to 9:00 p.m. to visit and have fun!
