The End of the Beginning

A new American Idol was crowned. The LOST season finale has come and gone. The long wait for Indiana Jones 4 is over. And the Democrat primaries have produced a worthy nominee.

The first half of the year simply disappeared.

Now, with Caroline completing middle school and Conor finishing elementary school, we have arrived at the end of the beginning of our adventure.

Last week a friend advised me, quite rightly, to stop planning. No more surfing the Internet late at night, checking bus schedules from Iguazu Falls to Salta, Argentina.

No, there are more immediate concerns, like getting a rental property insurance rider for our house and renewing my driver’s license.

But before we focus fully on final preparations, Dani and I wanted to congratulate Caroline and Conor for successfully navigating the many hazards of another school year.

These were particularly emotional promotion ceremonies, and we offer our sincere thanks to the very dedicated teachers who have taught our children over the past nine years.

Way to go Caroline and Conor!!!! By the looks of Conor’s photo he has my vote and is the only nominee worthy of our votes in November. But I forgot Conor is much to wise (and smart) to take the job. As for Caroline, she looks as see is warming up for the runways of Milan. You guys ROCK !!! And don’t forget to ask WWBJD !!!!

Love,

Uncle Doug
