Whew, so much to share. Let's start with an e-mail I received today.

Lyle,
Here is what I know:
Anticipated Departure Date: July 4, 2005

Let me know if you need anything else.

Best,
Brady


So looks like my inklings were correct! I'm excited to finally know something, hopefully I'll get more details soon. Yes Myles, I know that's before you and Kim get married... but keep in mind these are only estimates and my actual departure date may be much later.


Next, Wildflower. Suffice to say I'm freakin' tired. I'll post a very long entry sometime very soon. It was really fun, although nothing really went exactly as planned. There were a lot of good things that happened. After so much preparation to have a successful event feels really good, even though I only probably got 3-4 hours of sleep since last Wednesday. Leftovers from the event were also good. There is currently 12+ cases of soda in my house (>250 sodas). I also have 50+ pounds of coffee (although I'll be taking back 35 or so) and various other things. Most notably of which are around 200 snack-packs consisting of a soda, bag of chips, 2 cookies and a power bar. Hot damn.
