Update Season VII: "The OK Corral"

[Joe Biden 2020]

Back by popular demand, the Update returns for a Seventh Season.

This will be a fun season.  There will probably be some good ole' shootouts in this season such as what closed out Season VI, but we will allow those to become part of the routine around here, no feelings will be hurt, and no rights are reserved!

Whatever comes about in this thread, short of personal threats, will be tolerated by all who choose to opine.

To open the season the first reply will be my Kenya Flight Itinerary (which I will close the stand-alone thread).

[Donerail]

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

So did you use your birthday money to get the iphone 4S?

[Torie]

Sh*t.

[Keystone Phil]

You're pathetic.  Miserable and pathetic.

Wow, Ben! Glad that hasn't been said before! Keeping up your Moderate Hero streak in the Update. Good for you. Definitely not miserable and pathetic.

SN Brussels Airlines? Nice.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

What did you guys think of the last season (now that it's officially over)?

Last season, particularly the ending, was as raw as I have ever seen things. We knew the main character was lying to us most of the season, and it caused the viewers to boil over with rage. That, in turn, allowed the viewers to get a glimps of the real bushie. The anger. The sadness. The frustration. His reliance on god, especially as things deteriorated. I have a feeling this season may be more of the same, with a bit more Jesus sprinkled in with the impending trip to Kenya.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I went to another meeting in preparation for our trip to Kenya in June and I was blessed to learn that a young couple going with us has the same aspirations to move to Kenya like I do.  We'll be able to bounce ideas off each other and ask each other how we came to this realization.  I can also hear what they are doing to prepare, because if I want to leave in 2016, I had better get started preparing promptly in July or August 2013 when I get home.  3 years will go faster than I think.  I've got a lot of money to save up, a lot of bills to pay off, a career change to begin, and so forth.  Going with us, also, is a lady who has lived in the most rural part of Kenya with the Peace Corps and now is going to stay for 5 weeks in Kenya this summer at the Orphanage.  She is probably in her 60's, and will be going down with us on June 20, but will be coming back at the end of July.  Myself and the other couple will be able to hear her experiences and get pointers on what to do when we're down there and how to prepare.

That must be one damned expensive air-ticket.

I wish I could do that

I would like to pretend to be a preacher-man!

He says an anonymous donor paid for it.....and for his last flight there.  I still think that means Granny, but eh, he says no.

But you're all about other people paying for things you like.

There was an article in the local paper yesterday about how clergy are much fatter than the general public. Just something to chew on.

[Joe Biden 2020]

My pastor is a different story.  He was big a few years ago, but lost 50-60 pounds a few years ago and looks really good.  Of course, it helps that he is a letter carrier and walks the neighborhood and it also helps having 6 kids waiting on him every evening!

[Joe Biden 2020]

I've got more company coming in this evening.  My Grandma's niece and nephew-by-marriage from Albuquerque will be here within the next two hours.  They're only staying three nights and will leave Friday morning.
