Hi everybody!

I just spoke with Mr. Wonder online and he reminded me that we have this lovely joint blog set up and you people are actually writing in it. I was excited to be mentioned by name in most of your posts, though less excited that each time was a reference to just how cold I'll be in two short weeks. As your adventures continue, do not forget home. New and exciting things are happening here as well. For example, 21,000 showed up at Van Dyck Park yesterday for a McCain-Palin rally. Considering the city of Fairfax only has a population of 23,000, it was quite a turn out especially since there is no parking there. I had know idea that many people could fit in the same area where we used to play capture the flag at St. Leo's. I went with my Mom to check it out and it was kind of cool to observe, but also kind of scary. I get claustrophic in crowded bars, so it was too much to be in a crowd of people chanting "U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A." Kelly and Elizabeth, do you have access to news where you are? I guess if you can get on the internet you must, but will you when you move away from the cities?

My day can currently be divided into about 5 activities that I do everyday. I babysit for a family with many children under the age of 6, I play Pokemon War with Zach, I go shopping for discount winter wear, I eat dinner and then I hang out with the other Zach in my life. Alright, good luck and have fun!
