Road Rally Revisited

Well, we've rented the lakeside cottage for the week of August 27th - September 3rd, so it's official! The 2005 Pond Party/Road Rally will commence on the morning of August 26th (location tbd) and run straight through the weekend into the next week. For those of you unfamiliar with the tradition, I'll post some photos to give you the flavor of the weekend. For those of you who have never stayed through the weekend into Monday, consider it this year. Sunday night is especially peaceful.

I've been watching the latest installment of The Amazing Race and have been thinking of how I can implement some of their elements in the 2005 version of our "amazing race." It really annoys me when all the teams hit an unrealistic "hours of operation" that dissolves any lead a team may have had, so we won't have that in there. But I did like the episode when they had to eat 60 ounces of very spicy soup! Stay tuned.
