Well, I sent another invite to Karen, so hopefully she'll be able to get on here soon. Maybe one of you guys could tell her I sent it to the ren4329 address. I think it was something like that. Today is peak day for cherry blossoms. I ate lunch outside, and was covered with pink petals by the time I got up to go back. I looked like Tim.

To answer your question, Tim, yes I told the folks I was thinking about quitting this job and moving abroad. I am. I don't know, sometimes you just get to points in your life where you feel like a big change is needed, and I'm at that point right now. You don't get ahead without taking some risks. However, I don't think I'm leaving anytime soon. I'll be in DC for six more months at least, saving some money and so forth, and I'll be sure to tell you all before I go anywhere. I am going back to London at the end of May, probably for about 2-3 weeks, which should be fantastic.

Drew, that news sounds fantastic. You must really be coming along with your skills as a musician. Tell me a little about the group you're playing with; is it a band?

That's all for now, catch up with you guys later.

Will somebody ask Andrew and Karen why they haven't signed up yet? Sheesh.
Things are pretty good up here in DC. This time every year, DC has its Cherry Blossom Festival, which means there are pink flowers on all the trees, and stupid tourists in all the cars holding up traffic. But everything looks pretty nice, and the jogging trails are filled with nice-looking ladies. Our work softball team starts playing in a few weeks. T&S, are you guys playing intramural s-ball? Also, what are you guys doing this summer? I mean, besides clubs, cruisin', etc.

I've sent something to all the kids, and I resent an invite to Andrew, although I can't understand why he deleted it. Now, one reason for this thing is that a brother who happens to be lazy, say me, for instance, can pose questions to all the younguns saving valuable time, which he may then use for online crossword puzzles or TV.

An example: kids, tell me about your spring breaks. Tim, I heard you were mopey in Florida without Karen. What's up with that?




Hey, kids,
I just figured this would be a convenient way for us all to keep in touch, since I'm up here in DC, and you're all going to different colleges. Oh, wait.
I'll probably check this once or twice a day, and if I have anything interesting to tell you guys, this is where I'll put it.
Hope all of you had nice spring breaks, Ryan.

Hello, Steve, glad to see you figured this out. Now, if we could just get Andrew, Tim, and Karen on here. I don't know if the email mentioned it, but you can view all the posts at www.aventino.blogspot.com.
