Let's make a musical about it

I, as many know, like to think of myself as somewhat of a Frank Lesser. Meaning that I make poor quality musicals spur of the moment. It's similar to free style rap, but a little more Broadway. The one from the past couple of days is about going to Colorado. It was short-lived and only Amanda heard it, but we had a good laugh. Yesterday we started the 600-mile trip to Boulder, Colorado, and the home of my brother and his girlfriend. We ran into problems as we were heading out, as usual. The most unsettling: we had arranged to get oil from a restaurant in downtown Lawrence, but as we were pumping a man came out from next door, frantically telling us the cops were on their way and we should leave as quickly as possible. I was confused about the situation since we had gotten permission. Then, their oil wasn't even usable. Hours later we found another source and started off.

In other news, we continue to promote our paddles. We're looking forward to creating more business relationships as we travel across the country.

Our little home is now much cleaner after being in Kansas, where we were fortunate to be able to build a cabinet and spice rack. What was once a crowded RV is turning out to be almost spacious. We have updated the website as well -- http://www.pandapaddles.com/ --and have more pictures of the bus in progress. Estimated time until completion....never. Thanks to Dad, Megan, Erin and Ethan for hosting us all week.
