Poor readers, did you think I had left you? Are you even still here? I apologize for the unforgivably long absence! Please forgive me. Again. I have a really really good reason this time, I promise! It's because.....I have seen the future.....and it wears tiny hats and diapers. But not yet. Right now it just makes me sick and moody. Yes, there is a baby on the way! It's due March 13th, and I've just begun to feel better after months of nausea and exhaustion. Needless to say, we're so excited! We get to find out if it's a boy or a girl on the 19th of this month, and I can't wait to stop referring to it as "it." How rude! I'll keep you all posted on the details (because I'm sure you want to know). So far it's been an interesting experience, and I don't regret a thing and I'm so happy. But I will admit that a glass of merlot would be really nice....
So anyway...haven't done a whole lot since China, for reasons listed above. Mostly I've been lying around enduring the heat. I'm so glad it's finally cooled down! We're getting ready for our annual camping trip to Pismo Beach in about a week and a half. It will be nice to get away for a few days.
Went to my 10 year class reunion last night. What a trip. There were only about four people that I wanted to see, and I got to see three of them. The fourth, Elisa, is forever lost to me, I suppose. I can't find her anywhere. But I got to see the other three, and two of them were an absolute delight. The third was one of those disappointing experiences where you find that one of your best friends has become a stranger to you because of too much elapsed time and too few common experiences. Sad, but I know it happens. It was interesting to see what had become of my classmates. Some things were expected, some a total surprise. A couple of the guys had returned recently from Iraq, some people are in full time ministry, some are in medicine, some have done well in their own businesses. Everyone seemed so happy and successful!
But of course, that's the only kind of person you see at a reunion, right?

Don't worry, some of us haven't forgotten and still read here on occasion. :} And congratulations. :} We used to call the unborn babies in our family "herkimer" if it helps. (Condensed form of her-him-her) I can remember my parents having two of the three that came after me.

Ha! That's funny. A friend of mine at work has actually named our baby Coots and it seems to be working out for now. Of course, I suppose that will have to change if it's a girl. Cootsina?
If it ends up being a boy... you should name it Clint. Very strong name. Very cool too.
Sure you didn't mean March 31st? A very cool birthday to have, to be sure.
last I heard, Elisa was at Claremont Graduate School getting a masters degree in English.
Alright Anonymous, who are you? I had heard that too. I actually got a "hi" from her a couple years back in a really round-about way, but still couldn't find her.
