You Vote, We Deliver!

I took my final exam on saturday for my summer class and it was surprisingly easy. Better yet, it is over! I have only about a week and a half before fall term classes start up again and this term is promising to be a busy one. So, I need to cram as much summer fun into this week as is humanly possible.

Saturday afternoon was a crazy Olympic adventure... but there will be a whole blog post devoted to this in the next couple of days.

Sunday's summer fun started with the reading of a book I carefully and thoughtfully chose... based solely on the votes from my blog. The winning book (drumroll, please!): The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time! Even after just a few pages, I can say that you guys give great advice. I really love the book so far and I'm sure it will prove to be a nice relaxing read for my week off.


Well, it's not like i'm "off" completely. There still is that one thing that never ever stops: WORK. I wish there was a job that was like going to college or posting on blogs and still paid you like an engineer. Anybody have any ideas? ;)

Stay tuned for a very special feature on the 2008 Olympics. Here is a sneak peak at the aboslute ridiculousness of it all....(is ridiculousness a word?)

The email that started it all (sent by John to our friends Todd & Kelly Liefer):

"The unity torches have been lit. And now the gauntlet lays on the floor.

The question remains for Todd and Kelly to answer the call, to pick up the guantlet. To join in a competition that celebrates love, harmony, unity, and the fierce (but friendly) determination to assert your utter dominance over the competition.

We invite you, the Liefer Republic, to join us, the Isle of Hile, in... **cue trumpets, 2001 Space Odyssey-like bass drum**

The Married 'Lympics

Some of the events would be individual, while others would be team (couple) sports. We will track which wedded "nation" wins the most medals - in other words, which of us is the Sovereign Union. The prize, of course, is that the winners get to boast of their acheivements on their blog, while the losers must publicly admit defeat. "

So yes, this crazy event actually took place. And the results? check back soon!
