MDH,
Taxi drivers are the bane of AR. So many times they have been the cause of a last place finish. Two other teams had taxi drivers who hadn’t a clue.

I thought the Sri Lanka twins amazing when one of them dipped her head into the barrel of fish and her hair was around the top of the barrel. Phil was right about them smelling of fish.

Katmah, isn’t it strange how often the bad taxi driver has caused AR disaster ? I was also sad that they didn’t go on. Maybe the Sri Lanka twins who are fun
Not sure about Midwife but we will watch a second episode

My Dear Hedley,
I haven’t picked a team yet, but I was impressed tonight by the Sri Lankan twins who did a great job with the fish, the more difficult task. I was sorry to see the team with the double amputee eliminated.

Bob,
They only needed the one run t the bottom of the ninth. @ games to none is a huge advantage!

We brought home the DVD from our recent trip and we are on episode one…..a lot of delivery stuff so I am behind the sofa.

I thought that AR Episode 1 was moderate and their Shanghai stuff poor, especially the food nonsense in such a cosmopolitan city. Haven’t picked a team….yet

You are completely right about the game and, of course, the place was jumping as the Tigs got it done. Great for Kelly. Some long nights ahead in Oakland, we shall see

Detroit only one by one run. It’s a short series and anything can happen.

My Dear Hedley,
That was quite a game with the end result never clear until that Kelly fly ball in the bottom of the ninth.

I am DVR’ing Call the Midwife as The Amazing Race is on, and we, my friends, play games and have dinner together before we watch.

I quit at 18 as soon as I graduated high school and had a full time job. Week ends were all mine!
It has already rained and the heat went on. It’s set rather low so it must be cold.

Birgit,
I visit churches when I travel in Europe as so many of them are old and majestic. Florence was amazing. Every church was a museum with famous paintings on the walls.

When I was little, I always had to wear a dress to church as well as a covering for my head. I hated both of them. Now anything goes, including shorts. I guess it’s the going which matters.

I went to church a couple of times in Ghana. I loved the music and the enthusiasm, but the services seemed to last forever!

Hi Caryn,
The downstairs wasn’t decorated all that much. It was also where the confessionals were. There were a couple of statues, but small ones. Downstairs is where they have daily mass.

I started in the second grade. Once you received first communion you were stuck going every Sunday. I was in college, away from home, when I stopped going. I remember my parents weren’t happy when I wouldn’t go on my last Sunday home, the day I was leaving for Peace Corps training. Two years later, my parents had even stopped going.

I like church choirs, but we didn’t have one too often. I love you hiding your book, a woman after my own heart!

Now it’s raining!
