Summer’s coming to an end, but the Fun Train has one last trip to make. Yay, it’s on the way!!

Arriving in car one: Goldie, Alia and Mark

In car two: Cynthia, Camille and Ori

In car three: Fernando, Andra, Catalina and Charlie

In car four: Janet and Carl

Possibly riding sidecar: Sung and Ankur

They FINally showed up with Ethio at like 9:30. It took them like an hour at Dalo’s, poor things.

Now we’re going to Silver Star Mountain.

(I making Erin change first, don’t worry!)

This is the hike on which Cynthia booted Margoogley off the trail and down the cliff. Just for the record. (She has since been forgiven!)

It was super fun!

Yes it’s true. We went to see the anti-war vet yesterday and Margot is now tipping the scales at a healthy 5.7 pounds-a 25% increase since last month. She’s been hiking a lot and playing gladiators with Ori, so it’s pure muscle!

She also got her rabies shot (she screamed like the little girl she is), worm medicine and a mani/pedi, which she did not enjoy.

She misses you and sends her best to Mazzy.

Peace and quiet. Detox.

On the scene so far: David, Andrew, JP, Joey, WooWoo & Julia. It’s gonna be a great weekend. Call in sick and getcherass out here.

OMG, it’s a cuteness extravaganza, and everyone’s vying for the top position!

The iPup called Margot Eugoogle is the first of an attractive line of accessories being released for summer 2008.

She is in beta. A two week free trail is available on registration.

Enjoy.
