The Happs

Two weeks into his new job, Austin is having a great time. From
checking his company blog at Intense Debate, it appears that he
is a welcome addition (see June 12, 13 posts) as he has received
some nice pub. He looks forward to his Lebron James-like bank
roll in the future :). His first paycheck is Monday, just in time
for his cell phone and insurance bills-welcome to the REAL WORLD!
He took a second ACT test on Saturday, one more focused on
writing skills, and required by some institutions.

Cameron is pursuing his new passion--high country backpacking.
He leaves for a 3 day trip Monday morning hoping to hike about
20 miles or so. As for his flight training, he has started to
work on his 'commercial' flight rating getting his biggest
challenge out of the way a couple weeks ago when he flew to
Price, Utah and back in a Cessna 172. As part of the
requirement, he had to fly total round trip of at least
600 miles and land at two different airports. He is taking
a crash-course, on-line economics Summer class in July and
is holding a 3.0 GPA as he nears his Junior year, not bad
for having a full time job and full time girlfriend, not
to mention flying, backpacking, etc.

We have challenged ourselves to GO GREEN in a miniscule way
by trying to avoid using our central air this Summer. With
only Teri at home most days, she can tighten up the house
at the coolest point of the day and try to 'store' the cool
morning temp. It hit 90 yesterday, so day one of the challenge
has been met. The beauty of Teri being anemic is she is
constantly chilled---just wish she could pass it along to me.
Unfortunately, the furry lab-mix dog is not impressed with
our decision.

Speaking of, Teri awaiting more info on test results from her
doctor--but looks like she will have the 'female surgery'
thingy-ma-jig some time this Summer. So, it looks like Austin
and I will have to maintain the house for a bit, so we are
investigating Molly Maids, but I do not believe they have
an overnight option nor a cooking division.

My bum wrists continue to heal--right one at about 70%, left
one at 90%--felt good enough to hop on the mountain bike
yesterday for a very short ride of 8 miles or so. Teri is relieved
and has tossed the "Wiping Your Hubby's Hiney" survival guide.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all. Teri is grilling steaks later today
to celebrate. I am enjoying new a new pair of comfy, cocoa
colored Crocks. Cameron is working, so will be missing out on
the feast. Shelly probably thinking she could eat Cam's portions.
Speaking of the canine, her gimpy leg is back to 100%, so she is
back on squirrel patrol in the backyard.

Send gas money......

Later....
