No pics, no vids, no bling. Just a quick note to say a) we are okey-dokey (for you, Smash. We know how you worry!), had a great day at SC in Dubai. Robert Oaks and spouse spoke, as did our entire SP, and we had lunch with the Red Deer Stewarts, which is always a blast. Melonee talks a mile a minute, and Jamie stalks you with the most pre-meditated funnies in the history of funny. Jacob is a laugh riot--a hybrid of the two. They say hi to all who care.
Also (shame on us, but when you're in Dubai, you have to strike while it's in the mire, if Metamix we mayphor) replaced Riley's guitar today, and picked up a hard case. He's raring to go, and presses ad nauseam for an electric. But he's fired up about it and this will motivate the latent genius.
Last night: Jon picked up three suits, four shirts, and four ties at Pierre Cardin's 75% off sale. What would normally have cost around $3500 CDN cost a mere $800. Has now joined world of grownups, and will be wearing suits to work most days, until we hit the mid-40s, anyway.
Next purchase: iPhone. We know, we know: but by golly he actually has appointments and stuff these days, and the old organizational methods no longer pass muster, cut the mustard, or corner Custer, mister: and the matter must be mastered minus the muttering.
Shout-outs:
Deborah: welcome to the 21st c! Next stop: MSN! Then, we rule the world!
Hobo: We misses you, too, filfy hoboeses. Sniff. Don't forget our birfday presents.
HMac: saw it. Welcome back. And congrats on the front pages.
Ahnos: has been discovered, but we shall protect his/her identity with our very lives (or at least with fingernail clippers and a spatula, unless you offer us a sandwich).
Straw-poll: we are considering summering at BYUH, where I've been offered a class to defray housing and eating costs, or in Provo, where the library actually has books and stuff, and there's a greater variety of things to do--you know, besides getting stung by jellyfish and averting one's eyes.
Where would we be most visited?

Have you met the Belnaps of Dubai? They used to live/work at BYUH & still consider Hawaii their home...
Thank you for posting today. You are right, I do worry! Jk. Glad all is well!
Utah kind of creeps me out, but is far more affordable to visit then Hawaii, sadly. There will be no birfday presents this year. Maybe we'll send some cards the old fashioned way, maybe we won't. You'll have to wait and see!!!Tell Riley that he is the coolest nephew I have that plays the guitar, and I'm not talking about the wii or x-box kind so Devon can't get mad. Later Sk8ter!!!
Dr. Penny in a suit?! thats just not right! i dont even think I've seen you in a tie! (but then again, have my apocalypse classes taught me nothing?) :D
I will say that I'd love to visit you in Hawaii. But like hobo said, Utah would probably be more affordable. Although...neither is exactly within my travel budget. What travel budget you ask? Exactly.
Let my nephews know I think they're awesome. I love and miss you all.
Woohoo! How fun to spend a summer somewhere...either place would be fun. For the record, I think Provo is one of my favorite places to live. If you have a lot of mormons around there is always a lot of good places to eat, and cheap entertainment. (Can't beat fifty cent Tuesday movies) I have no idea what kind of visiting we will be doing this year. We will keep you posted on our next place of res. (In just 16 more days!)
We could afford Provo more, but we might try harder if your in Hawaii. Actually, if you let us know when you will be in Hawaii, I am sure we could get some cheap flights from Seattle. The questions for you is: who do you really want to visit with the most?
Also, let me know the next time your going to hit a suit sale - I'll send you my measurements, then try to keep them the same until I see you again in two years or so.
