Is anyone else worried...

...about Uncle Greg?

What has he got against Barack Obama? And why is he talking about the Maytag Repair Man? Has he stepped off the deep end?

Seriously.

Newton, Iowa Star Date 6-18 10:19 CDT Quality Inn

Well we got a later start than we wanted and didn't get on the road until 10:30. We hit our first trafffiv jam at 11:00 on 23 just South of 96. Stay clear of this area. We had many traffic jams until we got past CHi town. Phil, Sue, Doug...check alternative routes or leave VERY early. Like middle of the night. We are now sitting in the Quality Inn watching Dodge Ball...very funny movie. Had to stop in Newton since my hero Barrack Obama was in town today trying to get the Maytag repair man to vote for him. It will probably be his only votes. We did have a lovely dinner in Princeton IL at Snookerz (all the chicken legs you can eat for 4.95.) Make sure you stop. Sorry no pics tonite.

THIS FRIDAY

Lindsey and Mike will be in Denver...looking to catch a ride with anyone else who will be in town that morning/afternoon..so we don't have to rent a car.

A.Lou Lou/U.Phil: I've heard rumors that you guys are picking up Pj in Denver on Friday afternoon? If yes...may we catch a ride? You can put me in the trunk and Mike to the roof if you need....

Crawfish Boil next Friday. Aspen. Be there.

Marcus says he will provide directions when we all get to Aspen - you can get to the park very easily from the local bus system. In the meantime, a little Aspen humor from Melissa courtesy of Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber.

Lloyd: What the hell are we doing here, Harry? We gotta get out of this town!
Harry: Oh yeah, and go where? Where are we gonna go?
Lloyd: I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen.
Harry: Oh, I don't know, Lloyd. The French are assholes.

Rafting?

So... Per Marcus's e-mail of a week or so ago... who is going rafting the day after the wedding?

If you haven't seen the e-mail:

We are doing a rafting trip Sunday afternoon following the wedding. It will cost $68 per person includes lunch and I will provide beer for after the trip ride home.this will be a blast and a great way to enjoy some of Colorado together. I need at least 10 people to fill 2 boats or more people more boats! I will be sending a trip sign up sheet next everyone that wants to go needs to fill out and send back with credit card info so we can lock this down!

Marcus - Sign-up sheet? Also, more details on where it is, how long, what kind of water, etc?

Gracias! Wedding in 11 days! Aaahhh!

-Meliss

Did you see that bedroom?!

It's GINORMOUS!

So I moved into my new place. It is fantastic, but I have more than a few bruises from moving and the putting together of Ikea furniture. Everyone come visit. There's plenty of room AND we have a backyard for superfun summer bbqs. Excellent. Here's the new address so you can mapquest directions (and/or send cookies):

281 18th St. Fl 1
Brooklyn, NY 11215

Woo ASPEN in a few weeks! Can't wait to see everyone...AGAIN. Aren't you getting sick of me yet?
