Right, the new place. Are you all settled in? I'm assuming you're enjoying it there?

Mostly settled, yes. I'm loving it so far. I'm right down the street from a few of my favorite DG courses and my neighbors are all really nice. We're having a chili cook-off in my garage for the first Bears game. Gonna be kind of a house warming thing.

That's great news. My neighbourhood is great. My kids' birthday party was on Sunday. We had 17 kids in our little house. Most of the kids were from the neighbourhood, as we play with them at the local park. The house looked like it was hit by a tornado when it was all done.

Nice. Thats why I'm having it in my garage. 7 or 8 drunk adults are equal to about that many kids in messes.

Which reminds me, I need to buy a hose.

Our saving grace was the bubble guy. It rained like crazy here. We squeezed the kids in our living room. The bubble guy had them stand in a ring, where he used his want to cover the kids in a big bubble.

Uggh. It had to happen. I just got word that one parent confirmed a case of the 'vid.

Hunker down.

We're hunkered. I now have to talk to a lot of parents. Fingers crossed that nobody got it, or worse, got it bad.

Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed for you buddy.

Thanks.

My family got it in January. It breezed through us. I know it's possible to get it a second time. We're just hoping this time hasn't arrived.

Hey guys, is anyone here, by any chance, from Amsterdam?

I intend to move there in little more than a month, and the housing situation is ****ing ridiculous. I still haven't found a place to stay, and I was wondering whether anyone would have any suggestions, or maybe a friend who is renting a room, or anything like that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
