I was surprised by the gymnastic scoring changes and frustrated by the general lack of definity about the scores. I’m fine if you want to award two golds if they both seem to deserve it.

Oh, the new scoring in gymnastics. I hadn’t heard of it before you mentioned it and I saw it this weekend. I don’t care how they score it, sports that rely on judges are fundamentally flawed and leave the door open to corruption and favoritism.

I find it very interesting that unless the ‘favorites’ really mess up, their scores are always higher than others even if others (at least in my admittedly untrained eye) look better. I see this all the time in diving too. I enjoy watching these events still, but have a hard time respecting the scoring.

Continental gets my thumbs-down also. I really loathe their cigar-tube-for-cabin Canadairs (1 seat, aisle, 2 seats). I can’t think of a better place to feel like a packed sardine.

Since our last experience, I’m no fan of Continental either.

Wow I just read this on Connor’s 11 month birthday. I thought there might have been something about the house move on today. And for whatever reason I was thinking about Connor’s b’day and decided to check out the archives. You both have adjusted to parenthood as easy as anyone - we are so proud of you both.

love, mom

Good to hear things a finally progressing.

I think we’re stuck at the same stage. We signed a contract on the 12th, I think, and haven’t seen a a copy signed by the bank yet.

At least all the realtors involved were somewhat upfront about things, they told us the closing wouldn’t be until the 2nd week of July this back in April. They mentioned how slow all they banks are right now due to forclosures and stuff, and that this bank was especially slow moving.

I hope things start to cruise along for you guys.
Good luck!

I’m excited for both of you - can hardly wait to visit you in your new home.

Connor is going to have a ball with all that room to move around in - take care - all of you.

love, mom
