On a less spiritual note, the dr. has determined that I either have a "fatty liver" or that I drink too much. Hmmmm.....which can it be? (he writes as his stomach settles down after a day of french toast for breakfast, chili for lunch, soda at every meal besides breakfast, some kind of mango chocolate drink and another coconut chocolate drink from a local coffee shop, a hamburger and hot wings for dinner, and two chocolate cookies at about midnight, and a week of drinking various adult beverages including one or two of Mark's kick tail tom collins each night--of course, I am on vacation)

Speaking of vacation...Michigan is beautiful. For an Okie boy, I've come to the conclusion that Michigan has two seasons: spring and winter. Nothing is supposed to be this green in late summer. And when I hear another Michigander say, "It's really warm today." or "It's sticky today." and the temperature is only in the 80s...well, I don't even know how to respond. It's been an exciting week. Good times and scary times. Our oldest daughter (4) was stung by the infamous Riddle Yellow-Jackets (please see the post from Aug 8 and Mark's post at waterbrain). She's quite the drama queen...so that was exciting. Then a day later our 1 year old daughter falls down the 12 stairs to the basement. One minute she's there and the next she's gone and laying at the bottom of the stairs....really scary (I hate it when I hear uncontrolled fear in my own voice). Especially for Hailey who was holding the door to the stairs open to let one of Mark's boys out of the basement....it was one of those bad timing things. But we've made it through so far and we've got a couple more days to go. The lakes are beautiful and now Abby and Hailey have both been on a boat, and Hailey and I rode the sea-doo tube together. So....I'll let you guys know how the rest goes later.

Hey, Zed...how's the breathing?
