Hey there's a new free Usain Bolt inspired games on iTunes - if Andy is bored w/ Angry Birds, it might be worth a download for your drive back to Utah!

Its called "Bolt!"

I really hate being at home when other people are out exploring. I've decided to ignore your posts for a few days. This has always worked for me with Jake's posts. The only problem there is that I have to skip every week since he is only in "real life" about a day every two weeks.

Wait - I'm the one only in real life once every couple weeks??!!! :-) Steve I think at best, we're tied.

I've been to work every day for the past 2 weeks! And that's going to change tomorrow afternoon for a week :-)

Pretty much just sitting in class today guys learning about the Spanish Empire in North America.

I do get to meet the author Hampton Sides this afternoon which I'm pretty excited about. He's an editor at Outside magazine and the author of Blood and Thunder - a book about Kit Carson and the conquest of the West.

Ask the Outside editor if he needs some people to take a cool trip and write about it on their dime :) I'll volunteer.

Best magazine there is right now. I pour through that every month
