Wow, i haven't seen this much action on the blog for a long time...this is great! Sorry, Markus, but BRAZIL WON!!!!!!! When are you going to start cheering for them? Once Germany loses to Argentina??? It's been a bit frustrating here because there is no way to follow the cup closely....oh, well!

We had supper at Marianne's tonight and Bob and Heidi and Pete and Lynda dropped by for dessert...it was very nice. We met Tris' girlfriend, Sam Beth.

Shannon, good to hear that you are hanging in there without me...no questions yet??? What's this??? Thiago is moving in with you??? You don't need to do that you know. How's Lidi? I miss her so much. Take good care of her for me ok?

Dwayne, WAY TO GO...you are just about there. I am now weighing 147 lbs( with clothes) on Mom's scale, so I'm happy. So far Scott and I are controlling ourselves. We are back to running/walking on a daily basis, which has been very good.

Tres, I can call you and tell you about our nutritionist, but it is actually quite simple. It has been a great experience for everyone who has done it. She not a rigid calorie counter, but she is teaching us to rethink a lot of old eating habits.

Anyway, I need to get some sleep. Dwayne and Shannon, the meeting today with Jack and Howard was very positive and they are both very excited about us moving ahead towards a new camp, whether that be in partnership with JTB in even a minimal form. We'll call you soon. Tell Pipa that his papers are coming, but that he needs to be calm. We are wanting to do this well and Jack has been very busy these past 2 weeks. We'll get them to him tomorrow morning.

Love you all... Patsy
