Started out by being best man in Seth's wedding. Went to reception. Left a
bit early got home at 2:30. Made final packing arrangements. Dad showed up
at exactly 4:00 (way to be on time)He drove Cheryl & me & stuff to
Dennis'. We got Dennis' stuff (had to go back for Dennis' helmet, good work
Cheryl). Went to airport. Said goodbye to dad and Cheryl. The baggage guy
didn't give us any trouble. Ran around the airport trying to deposit a set
of checks. Got McD's snack & waited for plane. Flew from Cincinnati to
Minneapolis. Changed planes and flew to Seattle. Invented goofy headphone
substitutes [from straws, I think - so we could hear the movie without
paying for it...]. Plane was early. Waited for Cynthia Finley. Paged her.
Went to baggage pick up. Got boxes. Met her there. Waited for her to drive
around. On the way home she got lost and gave us the scenic tour of
Seattle. Finally got to her house. Met Shaun who is a U.N. hopeful, &
Skip who is a journalism major at Texas A&M. Cynthia is in civil
engineering there. They were all Republicans, but nice anyway. Dennis &
I put our bikes together in the garage. Mine wasn't quite done when we went
to bed. Bed 1:30 (4:30EST).
Dennis
Arrived in Seattle at 9:00 p.m. and met Cynthia Finly who we never met
until then. She took us to her house in Bothell (which her dad built
himself) and started building our bikes in their garage. Cynthia told us
she was going to Texas A&M for civil engineering (I felt sorry for
her). She also said she was the president of the young republicans (I then
quit feeling sorry for her). We also met her boyfriend Sean and his
friend, Skip. Sean is a political science major at Texas A&M and
thought he was going to become the chief economic advisor of the United
Nations. Everybody was very hospitable. Cynthia let us sleep in the house
in her parents bedroom (who were away) and the guest bedroom. We finally
went to sleep at 1:30 a.m. (4:30 a.m. our time).
