Can you believe it, this is the third daily update in a row. I know that you are all very impressed. So, some of the latest news is that Nate and I have purchased a really cool 1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible in red. We found the car and fell in love with it. The RX-7 is such a fun car and it is so nice to have a convertible. It has spent most of the time in the shop (it has been there for the last five days now and this is already its second trip in to the shop in the last two weeks) but we expect to have it out again tomorrow and we are looking forward to driving it again. We even got a vanity plate so the llamas around town can spot us, it is “MLUVNIT”. We had to get that license because of an incident with an identical car fourteen years ago. So honk if you see us around Ithaca.

The llamas are moving to a new house in just a few weeks. We have grown weary of our old pen and have decided that we need a bigger place to roam. Tim is moving in with us when we move because we are moving up from a four bedroom to a five bedroom house. We are also moving from 2.5 baths up to 5.5 and from a single width “Jacuzzi” to a double. We are very happy. The house is currently being built and is expected to be completed shortly. We are very excited.

Well, a lot of work has been done to the site today so I hope that everyone gets the chance to check it out. This weekend we managed to find a cool new place in Ithaca to hang out, the Odyssey. Tonight we will be heading back there so see if you can find us there.

Ok, ok. I know that the postings have stopped for some time and this is a really long break to have taken in updating the site but we wanted to get the site switched over to its new home and everything before a lot more work went into it. So here it is. Hopefully a lot of work will be going into the site in the near future so you can see all of the dramatic changes happening to it. Please email me and tell me what you think. We will be looking at a lot of new color schemes trying to come up with what everyone thinks is appropriate. We are looking for a brighter, happier look than we have had in the past.

In addition to all of the changes going on to the site, we would also like to welcome our newest close house friend, Dominica, to the fold. We met her at our friends Phil and Kate’s Wedding and now she has become part of the gang. So we just wanted to wish her a big Llama welcome to the gang. More news on her will be soon to follow.

June 8, 2001: Wedding Rehearsal in Norwich

Today is Phil and Kate’s wedding rehearsal in Norwich, New York. I am best man in the wedding and so will be driving out to Norwich for the rehearsal. This will be my first time ever in Norwich. It is not a region of New York that I am very familiar with.

I drove out to Norwich from Ithaca this afternoon.  The drive really isn’t too bad at all.  Less than two hours.  An hour and a half if you do it right since I live on the east side of Ithaca and do not need to cross the city to get out here.

The drive went really well and I managed to drive straight to Kate’s parents’ house without making a single wrong turn the entire way (this was in the days before GPS or even having electronic maps on your mobile phone!)  The rehearsal went well.

Afterwards everyone else decided to stay at the Howard Johnson’s Inn in Norwich but since I lived so close, was carpooling with people and was short on cash I decided that it would be best if I drove back to Ithaca both tonight and tomorrow night.

It was quite late when I pulled back into Ithaca.  Not much sleep for me tonight.  Tomorrow will be a busy day.

Well, my internet connection doesn’t seem to be any better today. Hello llamas! One of our fellow llamas from Rochester is down to visit us this week. Joe showed up last night. He did not make it, however, for the weekly llama night at the Crooked Board in Slayterville Springs. You know, all you can eat awesome wings for $10. Whoo-hoo. Bob and I got plenty of wings though, so don’t worry about us:)

Sorry that this has to be short but I am too busy today again. Make sure to write to Josh and wish him a happy 25th birthday. Or better yet, go to Blue Mountain and send him an e-card. He is feeling the arthritis already. One quarter of a century. Actually is birthday was like three days ago and I am a big poopy head and I forgot to call him.
