I'm back in my hometown of Normal, IL now visiting family before taking off for South Korea. My nephews Tommy (five 1/2) and Danny (2) are cute as can be. They both call me "Uncle Buddha." Danny doesn't know me so well, so he's a bit shy still, but he's warming up to me, I think.
My dad has gotten into model trains, so the family room now has a large table with train tracks and lots of little houses on it. There are even kids playing baseball and a dog peeing on a fire hydrant. When dad asked me to look at the fire hydrant, one of the people had fallen down, so I pointed out that the dog was peeing on the person. He laughed so hard he couldn't set the person upright. My father has a Ph.D. So much for all that education....
In other news, my friend Hun Lye is blogging again this summer. I'm not sure where his travels will take him this summer (though he's left Warren-Wilson College for another school the name of which I forget). In any case, check out his new blog http://hunwanderings08.blogspot.com/. Hmmm...for some reason, the link isn't showing up as a link. Well I guess if you're interested, you can cut and paste the link.
Shakya will be here Thursday. I'll be sure to post plenty of photos of our adventures.
Danny is also blogging like a mad man as usual. I encourage you to check out his blog (link at right under Blogger Buddies).
