Baylie and Alex's wishes
Baylie wants two dogs. Alex just wants one dog. However, they both want animals and both are not getting them. Bay wants two dogs named "Braid" and one "Sucker." This just tickles me.

2007-2008 School Year
Alex has found a new companion this year for school. Long gone are the days of video games, IM, etc. New are Word Perfect, calculator and etc. He finally has reached at his old age of 15 the test to see if he has the ability to do REAL homework. This year is his challenge where in the past he has been able to do minimum work for maximum grades. No longer living the dream world of a teenager. Books, piano, books, and more graph paper........ahhh...... He actually does his homework on the computer and sends it directly to his teachers at school.
This baffles me, and I tell him to save a hard draft and take it in hand just in case he gets in the classroom and for some reason the computer system failed. Totally new technology for me. They do all kinds of graphing and etc, they send directly. Then when he goes to school the next day, it eleminates a paper trail. But, it would worry me......

Newport Beach Injury
This was Drew at Newport Beach after he sprained his ankle running to catch a wave. He hit hard. We thought it was broken and spent the evening in the emergency room at Hoag Hospital waiting for x-rays. After three hours we found out it was a bad sprain, came out with crutches and a ankle boot. Expensive night in Newport Beach.
