Inglish clan is doing well.  We are settling in to our new house and  enjoying the small and closely knit Pleasant Hill community.  Cameron went to the homecoming dance.  Cam and Gavin both played football.  Cameron plays receiver and defensive back for the JV team.  He made some great plays this year, and his team will finish their season tomorrow night.  Gavin plays quarterback, receiver, running back, and linebacker for the Pleasant Hill Rams (Tiny-Mites).  Laurie plays Team Mom.  The Rams went undefeated this year, and capped it off today with a victory in the Tiny-Mites bowl—PERFECT SEASON!!

All that schooling didn’t go for naught…

Sounds fun.  It would be great to see some pictures posted.

Gage, it would be really great if you would set up a time to Skype with your mom and me.  Let’s make the $ we spent on that netbook worth it.  You can either go to www.yahoo.com; set up an email address; send it to Adam to have your email forwarded to that account; OR  check Grandma’s email for correspondence.

Be safe and keep working on your studies.

I’m unclear on this…if you can access the internet to post a blog on the Inglish.org website, you presumably also have access to inglish.org email.  From my perspective, the blog works nicely for a daily journal post (bear in mind you are posting this for the entire world to see).  On the other hand, a quick response by email to individuals will help rest their mind at ease, and is good for private individual correspondence.

Gage: please email your mom and ME today, it would also be nice to set up a time to Skype (Gavin has been asking where you are, and wants to Skype).  It doesn’t make sense to make Lori login and post a blog to communicate.  I’m also unclear on the text capability issue.  Mom: you’ve been sent texts by Lori and me to check in.  Did you receive any of these?  Are you saying you can’t text back?

I’m glad you did Tai Chi and went to the Buddhist temple, then balanced that with some pepperoni pizza.  A perfect balance of East meets West (Yin & Yang).  Gage, you should try to find a book entitled the Tao of Pooh-I can’t remember the author, but I read it when I was your age and it had a profound effect on me.

Be safe.

Texting via cell phones doesn’t appear to be working.  Several have been sent with no response.

Gage: check in with your mom and I via Skype this weekend.

Both of you have fun, be safe, try not to get lost.
