Andrew noted during our call yesterday that the general comment among the boys was that the tone of this blog sounded like it was being written by a lawyer.  Oh my gosh - dead on once again.  Combine that with Andrew's insightful observation that people in China speak Chinese and I guess it proves that they are ready for college after all.

But I do not want to bore the boys too much with my postings to the blog, so I will try to change the tone somewhat.  Maybe I will try to write in rap.  The last blog could have been written as follows:

Last night da rents got together at Rao's as homies

To talk about da boyz we call da domies

After some food and wine - a good time had by all

We decided to give da domies a call

So we pulled out da computer to Skype em

But Drew called his Dad first to whine to em

We then called Lear to get da scoop

But he said da boys were still too pooped

So we chilled and had more food and wine

Till we thought da boyz might be up dis time

We connected to China on  da skype

to get from da boyz da lowdown and hype

We learned da Pattee got his hair scalped off

But he failed to get his face hair scraped off

Last night da boyz went out to Karaoke

but only Teddy sang  a tune - really?

Amazingly the rest of da boyz were too shy

to do da rap and raise their voices to da sky

Da boyz also finally got down n played some b-ball

But da time was short, cause da temp was high in da hall

So they will wait to play again and have a thrill

until they can find a gym with some chill

We signed off feeling better bout da boyz adventure

but agreed to call Lear's mom to ask her

to get some help for Lear in makin da plan

for da rest of da time da boyz have in dis land
