The First Half of Hillary

Bros,
Hillary and I found fun things to do. We went walking around downtown (the Harrison parts) where things are fine and fresh. The library is there...where we read across from each other for an hour...the Java is there...where we shared a scone and drank soy lattes and hot tea...Books by the Sea is there....were we escaped without spending too much money...harbor is there...where we explored and read the names of all the boats...the park is there were we admired the old men sleeping in the sun, and the post-pranked fountain filled with suds...
We went down to Mexico Beach to eat at a beach restraunt: Toucans. But it was closed. Will not be open until Dec. 29th. So we drove to Panama City to Luigi Begies (almost 40 miles away) and ate itallian. No beach experiance there, but she will return on Dec 30th. Hillary and I will be spending our New Years Eve together alone on the winter beaches of white-sands-Florida with warm blankets and a bottle of Ravenswood Merlot. We're going to the hidden "East Crooked Island" beach. That is the best beach in all the world, the Virgin Islands can't come close.
Hillary and I briefly discussed driving up to Osage making stops in Olathe and Ames along the way. IF IF IF IF IF IF (I repeat: IF) we do it, we'll begin the drive 1 Jan 04 and be back in Callaway 6 Jan 04. The next day we'd have to drive to Orlando, and I'd return with an empty car after saying good bye. That's what is making us weary about going to Iowa. All the driving. I've already driven nearly 1,600 miles this week! But we'll see. I'd love to see family and introduce this girl to my family. We'll just have to see.

Peace and Love,
Mungo
