But the first one for which I didn't have 
 to do an emergency hem job on his pants. 
 James & Sam set up the programs & bug spray...
 
 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Toops
 
 
 
 
 Who are these good looking guys?
 Some of the Class of 2007 in the wedding party
 
 
 
 
 The wedding party did some kind
 of crazy mask dance...
 
 
  WHO ARE THESE GUYS??
 
OH...I know them...
 These chicks can dance!!!
 Just as well as their sons!!
 But my son sure can lead the conga line!!
 
  More of the Class of 2007
Then it's time to say "Good-bye"
to Brynn and Natalie...
 with a little lavender sprinkles
 
 
 And the party is over for the over 60 crowd!!

MY NEW ADVENTURE

Today I...
Met a young couple from Chicago
 near the Berlin Wall...
 Learned that a former FBI agent who worked 
on the Patty Hearst case believes she's innocent... 
 
Exchanged memories of the Cold War 
with a woman born 2 months after I was...
 **********
Showed a woman the Watergate door...
 Gave a mini-history  lesson to a young boy 
from the Philippines & his father...
 **********
Spoke with a man from Ecuador who was  
 studying in Hamburg in 1989 when the "Iron Curtain" fell...

 **********
Today I spent 8 hours volunteering at the .NEWSEUM
 
The Berlin Wall from the East side...
 The Berlin Wall from the West side...
 Political campaigns and the media...
 The broadcasting antennae from 
the top of the World Trade Center
Where else can you find so many headlines....
 like the Wyoming Tribune and the New York Times 
side by side...
 Sports photography...
 The Unabomber cabin and 
an engine from one of the 9-11 planes...
 I love my new "job!"
