Just checking in.....

Not a darn thing is new. I'm having my coffee before showering and going in to the office for a few hours. Not the best way to spend a Saturday, but as long as they'll give me the OT, I'll work a few hours. Maybe only 4 or 5.

BJ and the Mission Team from church left Thursday night for their trek to Russia. I followed them, in my mind, all the way over and at around 9:30AM on Friday, I could see them at the Cosmos Hotel having a light meal (It would be Friday evening there). I know they were beat. That is a tough trip. I'll see them in a week, full of the excitement of travel, those wonderful kids, but the joy of coming home. I've only left the US twice, but both times, I walked through the doors at Dulles International Airport with a new and profound love and respect for my country.

After work I'll do a little grocery shopping. I may join Costco. I'll at least go give it a look. Can't hurt a bit.

Still considering the Rosetta Stone Portuguese lessons. I can buy the set at Amazon for $289 or $329 through Rosetta Stone. Now one would ask, why not take the Amazon discounted value. Rosetta Stone offers a 6 month, unconditional, money back guarantee. If after 5 months I realize I'm as dumb as that Rosetta stone, I can get my money back. Amazon's return policy is only 30 days. I don't think Rosetta Stone will refund my money if I bought the set at Amazon. I've written an email to Amazon asking that question, but haven't received an answer. They say it can take 24 hours. So who knows? I may be saying Ola....or Obrigada.

Got to get going. I can hear the shower calling me.

God bless you all.

Nice to see you post. Things are going pretty darned good here, all things considered. I know you'd love to be two people right now, so one of you could be gone on the missions trip.
