Having a blast!!!!! Very exhausting...very little sleep...not for the right reasons......need to get going.

I got too much sun yesterday! sleep in a hammack last night in the bus....no since sleeping in the rain.

MARCUS is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pictures and story will be coming!

There are a few updates on TeamKamikaze, pics and rest of information soon!!!!

Later! Have a great day!!!!!!

Didn’t get much done on the bus last night….another late night before leaving early tomorrow. Did get a few things done on the Kami site, some laundry, cleaned up some mess from the previous nights on the bus……

I had told Blaise we had sweet corn, so the entire ride home he was asking if we were having sweet corn. He went through 3 ears, like there was no tomorrow. Wait till next year when he’s missing some of those teeth; see how he likes it then.

Hard to say if I’ll update this site next week, its possible…but most updates if any will be on the TeamKamikaze site……we’re leaving first thing tomorrow morning…remind me what Terrance had called me about last night….I think its funny how society has found acceptance in some of that, but…………cryptic enough?

Also sometimes I talk too much, especially when someone wants to know the truth and you actually think they can handle it....but they don't. I guess just leave everyone to their own perception? …even if the ask.

Deep thought for the Day: If someone comes up to and offers to massage your shoulders. Let them, because hey it’s free!

Everyone have a great week!!!!!!

What can I say…. Spamalot was awesome!!!!!! Sold out crowd. We had great seats, for getting them the day they went on sale for members. Had dinner at Court Ave Brewery then went and thoroughly enjoyed Spamalot. Even Stephanie and Emily who hadn’t ever seen Monty Python enjoyed it…..and they actually find the grail. On second thought you probably wouldn't like Spamalot, for it is a silly place! In honor of the show I have added Monty Python's Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life which they perform in the show...first song in the audio player.

People are so different, which is good and bad. Some are normal and some are totally out there. The ones out there think they are normal, of course what is normal? Majority Rules?? How about the Golden Rule? Treat others like you want to be treated. Of course, don't expect to be treated better then you treat others.....Remember life is short, so live it!

Tonight, Blaise and I are working on the bus. More mechanical things then anything, change filters & fluids. Austin is at Cub Scout camp this week...Backbone State Park....

Oh yeah! 2 days until RAGBRAI XXXV!!! You'll be able to check out our daily travel log and pictures at www.TeamKamikaze.com , if we update like we're suppose to.

Deep Thought for the Day: Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition.

"A new kind of record company, Tailored Music Group , is selling user-customizable songs . Each song is distributed in its 'default' (generic) form, and the customer can change any (or all) of the lyrics. For a few hundred bucks, the original indie musician will re-work the song with the custom lyrics. Neat idea."

Jesse, Mark, Blaise, & I worked on the bus last night. We swapped out the stereo, not sure if this was needed. I do think we added more watts per channel and it does play mp3’s along with a hook up for Ipod’s. We got the rails up and the mounts for the bikes. I also put up a rope on the ceiling to help steady people during the ride….This will probably be more beneficial during parties……That was it….still more to do….but I should be able to handle the rest over the next few days.

Here’s another one of those blasted stories….Exercise: Key to good sex, good sleep Which makes alot of sense....feel better about yourself!

L.G.N.

I ran into Chris Benesh(Maiden name) while dropping Blaise off at daycare. She’s another one of those poor souls that work at Principal. I went to school with her….anyway her son Nolan and Blaise were born on the same day in Methodist, in the room next to us….and now they are going to daycare together and will be in the same class in the fall.


Apparently someone is 3 months along…hmmmm??? Who could that be? Congrats, Beth is very excited about having a baby!


Spamalot tonight!!! Finally!......After waiting 1 1/2 years to see it here in DSM. I first found it out on the Civic Center site Jan 06’ with the dates for last summer. Between Joann and I, we had keep a close eye on the site for the tickets to be available and finally June last year I called and they said the dates were for 07’ and promptly changed them on the site……

Squirrel Spy Ring? Thats Nuts!

Britain's latest secret weapon?

Deep Thought for the Day: A funny thing to do is, if you're out hiking and your friend gets bitten by a poisonous snake, tell him you're going to go for help, then go about ten feet and pretend that *you* got bit by a snake. Then start an argument with him about who's going to go get help. A lot of guys will start crying. That's why it makes you feel good when you tell them it was just a joke.
