Whoever put that post about answers to lost must be 11 quacks short of a dozen. Not one dang answer. It was probably Tom trying to fool everyone...his favorite past time.

Had a lot of fun with 360, finally the consoles have equalled the PC. It's about time. Now if they could just figure out a way to do RTS's on the console, something like Generals or AOM. We have got to play some more. Call me if you are getting on to play, if I can't, I'll tell ya, but don't feel like you are bugging me, I'll tell you if you are. My vote is for COD2 as the best due to its ease of playing and quickness. I like GRAW too, it just seems to take longer to get going with too many options. Both good though. The choo-choo thing was fun too, I just got dogged with the last turn thing. I didn't know if it meant that was the last move I had or if it was the last pick of cards and I would be able to use them all up. Well, I thought the latter and loaded up with cards!! Yee-haw!, DANG! Oh well.....

May is looking like it is going to be a crazy month with everyone here to visit. It is nice to be close to mom and dad, so that when people come home, we get to see them too. Tom, Hayden's blessing is on a sunday that I have my Ortho course. You have family from the other side coming for that event too, eh? If that is the case, I'll just have to pass on the blessing...j/k, I meant pass on a little ortho secrets/knowledge. Looking forward to the Perry and Olsen visits as well. Marnie, are you coming up for any of May? I can't remember with all the visiting.

We got Taylor and Isaac onto baseball teams. Somehow we missed the registration deadline. Don't know how it got past us, but they had pity on us. We still use the "But we just moved here and didn't know it had started" excuse. Should be a fun season. And luckily, most or all of the fields are here in Washougal. NICE!

Work is going well. Had a surgery today that I wished I had sent to dad. Got it out though! Along with my disc at L4/L5! Gonna have a sore back tonight. Does anybody have one of those Posturpedic beds, you know, the NASA stuff? Does it really work? I've been wanting one. We are going to have to get a new matress eventually. We still have the same one we got when we got married! Brent came in today, sorry violated HIPPA, anyway, it is always nice to see family. I love having family so close. It is something that we have never really been able to enjoy until now (except for the one year in San Diego, which I don't even remember, being on call all the time at the hospital). It would be so great if everyone moved to the same area. I know dad has this dream that he could buy 100 acres and just build a big house for each family on it so that we could all be close. Don't think it's possible on earth, but maybe somewhere else??

Hey, gotta go, so nice to be able to talk to Mike like he is right here. Can't believe what communication can do these days.

Love you all, keep blogging so Mike has something to read,
Dave
