Thanks giving

Gary was thankful for everybody being there for the holiday.
Megan was thankful for everybody's health.
Sandy was thankful for not having to wash dishes
Matt was thankful for the bush administration being almost over.
Ben was thankful for cold weather.
Keren was thankful for holidays

I fail to remember what Erin and Kevin were thankful for, but EVERYBODY were thankful for paper shredders ;)

wedding pictures

we finally got the wedding pictures from the photographer. i've been trying to sort through them, just make sure that nobody's left out (some of my friends managed to avoid the camera almost completely!!)

anyway, this is one of the pictures that i'm most proud of:

Blondes

We were watching the local news in Chicago tonight, and they devoted part of their program to some science that shows that men are not as smart around blondes (see this article which summarizes things). So if I stand next a blonde, I become more stupid than I usually am. I would say the opposite is true too, i.e. women are dumber around blonde men.

That really explains a lot at my folks' house. I'm pretty sure that me, Gary, and Kevin are all dumber around Erin, and that she is dumber around me and Gary, as we were both once blonde (I'm barely a little more blonde than Gary). Matt and Erin are both blonde. Double whammy for them - I guess that's why Bongo and Tabi are really the ones in charge. Yellow dog (Grady) is also blonde.

The situation is hopeless. No wonder everyone reverts to 2nd grade behavior at the Koester house when we're all there ( except for you Mom:) ). Thank you science - I can now blame my DNA for wiping boogers on Erin at Thanksgiving.

winter?

so i heard it's snowing in cadillac, what's up with that?!?

Let's give Malakas a good bath, to kill all the fleas. and maybe he'll be white again (I think that was his original color).
