Here it comes, kids!! The summer time! No more school, no more teachers, no more homework, no more cold weather, no more long pants, and no more hate, violence or war! …..well, I guess we can't go that far…unfortunately. I think what I was trying to say was, 'Hey!', as long as there is still sadness and pain in the world, we may as well be really hot at the same time! …..Hold on! This isn't working out right. I guess that is what happens when you haven't written an update in a while. I am sorry kids! I have a lot of catching up to do. Ok, take a deep breath and let's start all over again….
