Or at least, a little lighter. The problem was the timing. We’d gotten to our Minchuku a little late that day and in order to get the packs sent ahead, we’d have to get up at 5am, walk down a couple miles to the train, send them ahead, and then after hiking the mountain, hike a few miles past that night’s hotel to the train station to pick them up. We decided it was too much of a pain and didn’t do it. I think part of that was my stupid idea. Then again, I think the extra walking would have been worse (for me) than the extra weight.

At this point I'm just watching the nightly NBC coverage, and not worrying about anything else - most news organizations will have the results, and even some of the clips. Really cool that Nastia Luikin and Shawn Johnson went 1 / 2 in the individual all-around.

Looks like how I felt when that squirrel jumped out at me in the furnace room years ago - gets your heart going for a moment. One of the neighborhood cats has been coming up on to our outer deck the past few nights, so our three have been hissing and spitting at it through the screen... at 1 in the morning.

Anything purporting to be from the IRS can be incredibly suspect, but I assume SpamAssassin catches most of that stuff. Between Norton's and Thunderbird, we really don't get much spam here.
