Kellogg fight song
Not really, but Mikenizie's classmates adopted this as their fight song. This video is from 2006, but it was sung again at the wedding reception.

In Chicago
We're at a wedding in Chicago, very quick trip, dash-in and dash-out. It's cold and has been snowing. Saw some people that we haven't seen in a while, some with new kids, very cute. Chicago is great, the river has frozen over, a pretty view from the reception.

Holiday on St. Maarten
These are bit dated now. We had a great five days on St. Maarten in August. The airport is modern and fairly new, but not the rest of the island. You could say that about most islands in the carribean. St. Maarten has two sides to it, the French and the Dutch. We can recommend the Westin Resort on the Dutch side. The hotel was opened in December of 2006. When we went there it was off season, but a perfect time to go (end of August) as long as there is no hurricane. We took a side trip to St. Barths and can recommend the island, but not getting there by boat. It was really choppy, bad enough that we took an island hopper back, we weren't going to get back on that boat. Also, everything on St. Barthes was closed during the off season unlike St. Maarten.
