Cousins
Well it was great being back in Bemidji a second time! (refer to my second post!) The bon-fires remained impressive and the time was relaxed. It was warm, and the kids hit the water, and Max leaped into the water! This dog was crazy. Even though he was a rottweiler he completely loved to dive in at the end of the dock. He also was a lean and strong dog and so did not have any extra buoyancy, but that did not limit his range in the water.
Joel was up to a match of Go. I love to play this ancient Chinese game. The great appeal to me is that the rules are easy but the strategy is hard. In fact the rules are deceptively easy for a game that is like a national sport in Japan where I learned the game. It was televised on TV just like a foot ball game! They even had announcers and analysis. Dan was able to make an exchange with John, my son, for the books that John had completed in the previous five weeks. By the way you can always see what John thought at Hoppin Readin Review . Both Jonathan and Jeremy took Elizabeth out with the four wheeler.
Jeremy has some unique wisdom that he shared in the fun spirit of the summer around the fire. Here is a transcript from part of that conversation:
Jeremy: "Converse All Starts you got to have them."
John: "Why"
Jeremy: "because they are popular, inexpensive ,..."
Background: "All the cool kids wear them"
Jeremy: "and I wear them, Ya, got to have 'em"
(Jeremy the Chief of Cool)
John: "What have they done for you in your life?"
Jeremy: "Well I am faster, stronger, and more good look all for 40 dollars or less"
Continued laughing in the background.
John: "Do you agree? So how do you rate Converse, Natalie?" (Jer's girl friend)
Natalie: "I own pairs, but when I walk they left dinosaur imprints, so that is my reason for buying them."
John: "Very good."
Natalie: "high top old school"
Jer, I promise to put the actual movie clip up on the net when I get more disk space:)
I want to give an especially big thanks to Denise and Nancy for letting us hang at the lake. And thanks for the real wild rice! I mean real wild rice, the kind that is long grained and broken brown. Not that harsh black domesticated wild rice. This rice is still harvested by beating it into a canoe! Thanks.
