• Will I be able to handle the women?


• Am I easily offended by smartass teenagers?


• Should I wait for the 70 and older discount?


• Will it appreciate in value?


• What scooter would Jesus buy?


• Have I explored the Harley option?


• Am I scooter material?


• Should I spend the extra 200 bucks on the "Turbo"?

Time with family

Visit to Idaho

For the second half of my spring break, Nathan and I took a little road trip up to Idaho to visit my friend, Shanna, and her husband, Rick. They live in a small town called Bonners Ferry, which is close to the Canadian border.

We spent several wonderful days, hanging out with them. It was pretty low key: bowling, playing games, going out to pizza, helping out with AWANA, watching movies, eating snacks, driving around to see the area, playing with their dog, and lots of time just talking.

Shanna had been our neighbor for 7-8 years when we lived in Garden Valley. She moved to Idaho with her parents only a few months before we moved to Pine Valley. She and Rick have been married for over 2 years now and are so very happy together!

POP'S TOP TEN

If you didn't see mom's e-mail reply to Doug's, you missed the "Fireworks". Pop's gives us the TOP TEN messages left on her answering machine that afternoon.

• "You go girl!"
• "Hey, I just got back in the country. Is that our cousin Casey?"
• "T. Boone Pickens here. Neat stuff!"
• "This is Dubya, If you need some help to get out of this, gimme a holler"
• "Hi honey, it's Mike. Thanks for taking the heat off of me"
• "It's your brother Joe....wanna hang out?"
• "Rush Limbaugh here. Gimme a buzz if you want something to take the edge off"
• "It's your neighbor - long story short - I never ever pictured you that controversial"
• "Hey mom. I've noticed all of your recipes lately involve 1 part gin and three parts tonic. What up with that?"
• "Is Casey a guy or a girl?"
