The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!

Harry: Boy, I wish I could get that excited about nothing.
Navin: Nothing? Are you kidding? Page 73--Johnson, Navin R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity--your name in print--that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.

Not the new phone book... but the new yearbook's in! Yeehaw! Talk about spontaneous publicity. Talk about infamy. Talk about notoriety! Big time. Ahh... the fruits of my labor for months and months. EVERY word typed and picture inserted into those pages was done by yours truly. I'm fantastic.
News: Jeremy's coming home tonight (probably). Hoorah! Tomorrow is Field Day. I will be in the sun all day with the junior high kids at the park, watching them run relays, telling them they're not fast enough, and enjoying games of toss the chicken (into a ring- it's a very complicated and precise game). Other games we play in addition to regular (aka "boring") track and field type stuff: discus with a trash can lid, javelin with a pool noodle, leap frog, rock paper scissors, and a jr. high-wide bubble-blowing contest. It's one of the best days of the year. A bonus: I get to be a team "captain" and cheer (or booooo) my team on to victory. Or complete obliteration. My team has lost every year. Badly. I think the PE teacher stacks the teams in his favor.

i was totally picturing pool-noodle pole vaulting instead of javelin, which seems like it would be pretty dangerous...yikes.

PICTURES ARE MEMORIES FROZEN IN TIME PEOPLE.

I'm jealous. Christ Lutheran field day rules!

You are the best yearbook person ever! Field day rocks. Too bad you can't borrow my conservative tanktop this year.
