Destroy the Formics

HAHAHA!! It's time for another email!

Happy Newspaper Carrier Day. I have lots of respect for the paper
boys and girls of America. I used to sub.

Tomorrow is Be Late For Something Day and Cheese Pizza Day. Be late
picking up dinner?

I really wish I could play bagpipes. They are so cool. One of my
neighbors used to practice outside sometimes, but I think he has given
that up, I haven't heard that sweet reedy tone for at least, oh I
don't know... 6 years? Oh and since our River Festival was cancelled,
we haven't had a River Festival Parade (duh) and there is always a
group that plays the pipes and drums. They're my heroes. I know a
girl named Shannon that played the bagpipes at a 4th of July breakfast
thing that my stake had a few years back. But I don't really know her
too well. I used to give her sister rides home sometimes though after
winter drumline.

Ahh, winter drumline. I almost forgot that I did that. I miss my
vibes. And my #5 bass. Alex still calls me #5 and it makes my day
every time. I ran into Alex getting Slurpees a while back. I still
have my sticks and practice pad in my file cabinet at home. I still
have the black shirt that I had to buy for that concert. I went
shopping with Megan one Saturday at Savers looking for black clothes.
I think she got something but I couldn't find any black hoodies and so
I decided to look somewhere else. That was fun. Megan and I spent
most of that day together. Oh, what fun! And the concert was pretty
cool. That was when I first decided I would like to try Quints but I
never got around to it. Maybe when I get back from Venezuela.

I watched The 'Burbs last night with my family and Jason Hudson and
Janae Frederick. It's a good one. I like the part where Mr. Rumsfeld
calls Hans "Pinnochio". Very cool!

I also played several games of Settlers of Catan. I got really close
to winning last night, I had nine points, but then Andy stole my
longest road and built a city. Meh. Then this morning I played one
on one with Michael and he absolutely crushed me. It's partly because
one of my first settlements was built on a 10 and the ocean. I
shouldn't have done that, but I thought the ore port would be more
useful than it turned out to be. And Michael had plenty of wheat, and
I didn't get any the whole game. I had to trade for everything and he
also had a 3:1 port while I had to trade 4 of everything. He crushed
me: 10-5 I think...

Suggestions for the day:
Song: "I Fell Asleep On My Arm" by The Aquabats
Movie: Manos, Hands of Fate
Miscellaneous: Key Lime Pie

I hope you all have a wonderful day. This has actually been one of
the best weeks in recent memory for me. Let's share the wealth.
Here, take my happiness.
