With the largest chunk of our current PCS behind me, I had a few moments to actually do my MUTER homework well before the due date. Usually, I have no problem procrasting up until the last minute. But, for this particular deadline, we'll be flying over the Atlantic on our way to Virginia. And, while I think it's totally cool to blog on United Airlines, the reality is that I'll be traveling with MiniMe. I'll be doing good to just to catch an uninterrupted 15-20 minutes of an inflight movie.

OK, my friends, anyone surprised by my answers? I'm really not much of a daredevil & my answers make that painfully obvious. Especially that part about cavier. Sorry, it's the just the biology teacher in me that makes that gross.
Anything pique your interest & you desperately want details?
Want to make a comment about what you have done or wish to do?
If you haven't visited the White Haus yet, let me know. MiniMe is convinced that Sasha & Malia are going to be her new BFF's. I'll just call up Broccoli & First Frau to see if we can score an invite for dinner.
Maybe we can even round up enough people and get a game of Bunco going.
