It was nice to see some comments on the last Blog and quite apparent who does or does not actually read the Blog. As for Family Fitness I think there's a consensus among certain parties that it should begin at the first of the year, not right now as we barrel into the holiday season. As for the other small contest I have going with one of my readers, that reader now owes me exactly $1. I'm sure you can see that I've responded to this challenge with the enthusiasm and success I have approached all other weight-loss challenges so far. Anyway, keep saving your money. I could actually kick in and do it.

Well, here we are on the eve of our trip. We're very excited, and even partially packed. Not to worry. We have until noon tomorrow. So, here is some info you might want (or not) about the trip.

We stay overnight Fri in Sydney and come home Sat Nov 8. As you can see by the above columns I've recently taken up some serious drinking. That should make this trip a lot of fun for Dad.

I'm not taking my ipod with me, so won't be checking e-mail, so let's all assume no news is good news until we get back to the states on Sat.

For those interested in staying in our house while we're gone you'll need to contact Cade so he can meet you here and let you in. Our neighbors across the street are watching the house for us, so if the police arrive shortly after you do don't panic! Just kidding! We told them you'd be coming. Heave a great time and enjoy the house.

Can't think of anything else to tell you except that we'll miss all of you tons while we're gone. Take care! We love you!
