Stop, You're Burning Out My Retinas!



Oh, you say, that's so nice that Jama can sit next to the warm fire and listen to John strum out a tune.

In actuality that is the 400,000 watt halogen heater we so naively bought this weekend. Our apartment doesn't have centralized heating and air, so we've been slowly and strategically placing small heaters around. I almost cried today thinking about how comical this heater was, seriously it was blinding.

I figured we'd use it until we returned it, but then it stopped working-- less than 24 hours after purchase.

Howdy cousins!

How is everything down under? From reading all of your postings, it seems that everyday is an adventure. You really haven't missed to much back here in the states. Alicia and I did attend Jana's graduation party at The Spotted Dod restaurant and Pub this past weekend. That seemed to be a good time had by all. Of course anytime you put all of cousins together along with some alcohol, it usually turns out being a pretty good time. Anyway, just wanted to say hello. Sorry it has taken so long for me to post again but it's the end of the school year and spring football practice is in full swing so things have been pretty hectic. Oh, and did I mention that I am getting married in about 27 days?? By the way, as much as I would love for both of you to be in attendance I completely understand if you don't. I mean, come on, $2K and around 40 hours on a plane for one weekend?? Anyway, take care and keep us posted!
