If you've never seen Whoopi, come to NYC because we've got her on display now in midtown. Cas whoops up a batch of beer can chicken. Inspired by Charles' in Harlem, Julie and I try our hands at fried chicken and picnic with it in the park-not too bad! This was the first summer of biking for us--500 miles! Mostly around the island early in the morning. I got to check out Hoover dam and the desert while visiting Las Vegas with my good friend John Downing. Julie and I headed off for a quicky vacation in Mexico near a small town that was near Playa del Carmen. We sat on the beach, drank freaky tropical things and ate a LOT of tacos. Hardly an authentic Mexican experience, but we had a very rancho relaxo time.

Went to a wedding of one of Julie's friends and stayed in a hotel in Covington Kentucky. Early Saturday morning (6:45am) stepped out onto the 8th floor balcony naked for like 30 seconds and 10 minutes later 4 police officers banged on the door, came in, arrested me, handcuffed me and took me to jail. Told me I might get away with that sort of thing in New York City but that this here was Kentucky. HA!! Seriously. Later that night, we met Boggs and company and had much PTF (post-traumatic-fun).

Soon, Halloween set in and we had to put our beloved Celica up for adoption. Julie's friend Carry comes to visit. Julie tries a sexy new look. The side of me the Covington police refused to see. Christmas at the Jarvis' -- we got a real tree this year!!!
