Oh I wish, I wish

I am a happy individual, but if there was one thing that I could have in my life, it would simply be the video tape recording of our beloved Taylor Mildenhall performing "Street Rat Ballad" from Disney's Aladdin. It was a sight, and I am forced to relive the memory in my head, often in fact. We are no longer blessed with this classic performance because, in Taylor's justified wrath (something about Star Search and being tricked into making the tape in the first place) he recorded over this amazing performance with a stop-motion Lego school project or something else mundane. Oh well, Taylor is still with us, and I do have some other stirring (mainly in the stomach) performances by him. and the feats of "strength" events:But nothing will compare ... Oh well, what are we but a sum of our memories; thanks Taylor for some great summation.

On a side note, I imagine Taylor's current girlfriend as looking a lot like princess Jasmine, I'm not sure though, but Katya likes the idea, and that counts for a lot 'round here. (that means get a pic Taylor!!!)

Pape' Goes to Deutschland

So, Nick is off to Germany to start his mission. We are anxious to hear how things are there and to see how changes. I am sure he'll make great friends there like I did, Kyle Tait for example. He now lives near us here in Washington and even attended Jacko's Birthday party with his lovely wife Amy and their soon to be Henery.

One last bit of advice for Ol' Pappy... and for Bob and Bree come to think of it: Watch out for Pirates, even the cute ones... On cell phones.
