What's to blog about?


So, I'm trying a new and different way of communication... Blogging. I'm hoping that now my attachment to email days are over... Here's to hoping.

We are getting more used to the wild life now. The monkey family that comes to our yard nightly still thrills us, but now we don't usually stand and watch them the entire time they tear apart our banana tress and eat the new shoots.

Casey and Benjamin have discovered a new pet. A snail. Casey was hurt this morning when it didn't recognize her as we piled into the car for church. But she still called to it lovingly.

Casey has also discovered that she does in fact like curry. (Before she always claimed that she didn't like curry.) The only caveat is that she likes it only if she can eat it with her hands. Yes, with her hands! Apparently that's the Indian way. Only use your right hand, though! Using your left is taboo. The left hand is only used for the restroom. It's interesting though. It also made sense as to why there were handwashing stations all around the food court at the mall, but the bathroom wasn't so close. If you eat with your hands, you must wash the, before AND after!

Well, we'll see how this publishes...

So there was this race one time with a snail in a really fast car. The spectators were excited to see a snail driving such a fast car. Just so that everyone in the audience could see which car it was, the snail put a giant "S" on the side of the car.

Anyway, the snail was zipping around the race course. The announcer was getting really overcome with emotion. At one point he wanted to tell everyone how fast the snail was driving. But he couldn't estimate the speed. But he kept getting excited anyway. Round and round the track went the snail in the car with the big "S" on the side. The announcer got more and more excited. Soon the announcer could no longer contain his excitement. He shouted into the microphone, "Look at that S Car Go!"

Please, no applause.
