    I’m watching Jurassic Park tonight! Never mind that I’ve seen it dozens of times, including multiple times at the theater when it first came out. Good luck with bangs and booty…and I LOVE soup!

    I just went to Ireland in June. Girl, it will not disappoint. I’m still in dreamland from it…

    Hey Annie:

    I have the same wish this weekend…not to die climbing Longs (I am in the same CMC group)…I won’t die if you don’t die. Look forward to meeting you. I’ve been to Ireland (17 day bike trip…It was wonderful…I can tell you about it)…was a runner for 30 years…had to quit because of back and achilles problems…I am jealous…see you EARLY Sunday morning.
