Enroute to Iowa

Jim here, I just talked to Doni. I'm going to keep this short because I'm tired.

Paige is still doing great, and Doni's doing well, but her hands, legs and feet are hurting. We're hoping she'll be able to recover once she gets home next week.

The missing RV returned, and they're altogether together again, so that's good. They've traveling a long way the last two days, but now they're going to settle down around Wisconsin for the next week before returning to Riverside.

The band moved down to 4th place, and then back up to 3rd. They've been rewriting the show, and everyone says the band is doing great, but they just didn't quite get the points a couple of times. As you can see below, the scores are very close. From the Yamato site:

(I think it would probably be insensitive to go into details here, but three people who are close to the Lang family (but not in the Lang family itself) have died in the last week, all traffic fatalities. We just heard about the last two tonight, and are still pretty much in shock. I called Doni tonight to let her know; we're all handling it okay so far. Doni's sister-in-law Mindy is coming by tomorrow morning to let Stan know and be there with/for him. Thank you, Mindy.)

That's all for now,

- Jim

Oh, I'm sorry about the deaths. Abrupt endings are never easy.

Tell Doni I'm sending her many healing thoughts, pain is no good!

fuwgra = pain is all fuwgra'd out.
