Wisconsin update

Howdy, Jim here again.. Doni called last night, and all is basically well. Doni's getting pretty fed up with a few co-workers, but I'll let her talk about that later if she wants. They're done with traveling and are sleeping in a Wisconsin school for the rest of the tour, and she's really glad about that. No more teardown/setup. Her hands are doing better, and Paige is still doing great.
Since the kitchen staff has moved out of the RV, they didn't really know what was going on there Monday night, but found out Tuesday morning that a driver and a couple other staff folks had had a, um, "party" in there, and not cleaned up after puking in the bathroom. Booze bottles everywhere, and quite stinky. Apparently the perps got to do some mopping yesterday! Hmmm...
Not very good role modeling, I'd say. Anyway, everyone's fine.

The band gets to do laundry today, and tomorrow the national finals begin, with the quarter-finals and semi-finals tomorrow and Friday, and then finals and awards on Saturday. Go Yamato!

Watching the terrorist news this morning, threat level orange, increased flight security;

Doni and Paige are scheduled to fly home Monday afternoon. I hope that they can make it. I haven't heard from Doni, but I hope she calls today.

I have a friend in Seattle whose young son was going to make his first "on his own" trip to the British Virgin Islands today. So far, no go, but they're trying again. As he said, Agghh...

Doni called tonight; they hadn't even mentioned the news to the staff, so none of them had any idea!

I hope that they get to the airport the recommended 2~3 hours early. Good luck to you and Greg, leg!

Not much other news, except Yamato may possibly be out of the running for the national finals (due to point totals). They will know for sure sometime Friday.
