First Cousins - Once Removed

Here I go with the cousin Doo Daa again.

Thanks for a SUPER fun day Simpson/Miller Family!

Dave and I ran in the Casco Days 4 mile road race, no pics to prove it...Bill, do you have any?

The kids had a grand time. Rides on the carousel, prizes won on the Midway and lots of candy eaten at the parade. Pleasant Lake was too choppy for a ski, so we did lots of swimming and jumping (Harper) instead.

Happy Wedding Day to Carol & Josh. What a BEAUTIFUL day to celebrate your love for one another. I can't wait to see pictures.

Go Tommy Go

Most people would be bored stiff by the Tour de France. I find it fascinating and spend at least an hour a day for 3 weeks or so watching these guys grind it out. I admire their endurance but their mental toughness and focus is hard to believe. I think it was a Belgian guy that crashed, finished the day's stage with multiple lacerations, was sewed up with 35 stitches that night, and on the bike the next day.

Thomas Voeckler has led the Tour for several days now. He's a tough little French guy who's got all the favorites worried. I'd like to see him take the prize.

Hail to the V

Remember back in the early 90s when we were told we could be fresh as "a summer's eve" if we only douched enough? The message has changed somewhat(the product actually) but we are still supposed to think our vaginas are a nasty swamp. Only now our sisters of color are included, they apparently also need some tending "down there". I believe this ad is for an African-American,theres also a Hispanic and then the all-purpose white girl. That one refers to the vagina as a "vertical smile". Its all creepy, somewhat racist and strange. Can you imagine the casting call for the talking vagina hand? I guess the bottom line is that people will talk about it. Negative attention works to get things sold I imagine. Hail to the V indeed.
