Nummi

I just got finished listening to this podcast from This American Life and I was wondering, Ed, what your take was on it?

Got my test results today and I was successful. I wish I could write that I got a B, for example, but the scale they use at the DLI doesn't translate to a standard academic rubric. For the record I got a 2 in listening and a 2+ in reading on a test that runs on a scale of 3 (I think) so it looks like Uncle Sam can't get out of that lucrative signing bonus he owes me.

Next stop, Texas.

PS: Thanks for the prayers and support!

1:53:12 in the Quintiles' 1/2 Marathon

We went to Wrightsville Beach this past weekend for the Quintiles Marathon. It was my first half marathon and I was pleased with my overall time. Goal was to do the 13.1 in under 2 hours. And i just made it in 1:53:12. I don't know how Betsey and Richard have done two marathons... That's impressive!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARGIE!

March is just full of birthdays, but we can not forget beautiful Margie's special day today!

Hope it is perfect, Margie! We love you very much and wish you the happiest of happy birthdays!

Don't ask me when these pictures were taken, they were on Mom and Dad's computer.

But isn't Margie beautiful! We sure love the sweetest sister in the world! Margie is always so thoughtful and kind! She wouldn't send a late birthday card (unlike some of us in the family, ie ME!).
