Return to Legendary! Welcome once again gentle readers to the niche market of all niche markets! As we are now into June, I'm sure many of you are preparing for summer vacation. I'm kicking around the concept of a Something Monthly Convention. Drop me a line so I can gauge the public's interest. Tales from the Commonwealth I went down to Danville in early May to see my cousin Jerry, his wife Julie, and their daughter Kaylie. I also had the good fortune of seeing cousins Jackie and Steven, along with Steven's wife Becca. It turned into a Bourgeois Monkey reunion, as well, when my fellow fugitive-from-justice Danny Moore showed up with his wife Zoe and their baby boy Ethan. While we were playing disc golf on an impromptu course designed by Jerry (we even had maps and scorecards), we looked up to discern the source of violent rumbling. What did we see? Superman? A dyspeptic goose? No, it was the Stealth Bomber! They had flown in for an air show in Danville. It was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen; it's nothing but a flying wedge. It banked as it passed us and became nothing more than horizontal slit, the plane is so thin. After a men's breakfast at the church (Chef Beebo makes some mean hotcakes), Todd and I helped build the attic for the church. Insulation and sheet rock were installed this week, so we're getting close to being able to move in to our church's sanctuary! My favourite room? The new sound booth, of course. Ever see Crazy Harry from the Muppets? That's me in the sound booth. This month the national D-Day Memorial opened in Bedford, VA. Bedford lost more men per capita than any city or town in the US during the D-Day invasion. From what I've seen, it's a very impressive monument, and we had a huge turnout for its opening. The President even showed up and gave a wonderful speech as part of the dedication. Sports With the constant rain here the last few weeks we haven't been able to play much softball, but it's not like it's that much of a loss since my co-rec team is 2-6 and my men's team is 2-5. We don't hit consistently, but we make up for it by not fielding the ball either. It's still fun, though, to watch the other team run scared when I climb the fences and howl like a banshee. One word: Ichiro! Hairstyles Chia nappy: Not long enough to comb; too short to lay down.
