Today Tom and I are packing, and is this our least favorite activity, or what? It was made easier for me today because I played a round of golf here in Cedar Rapids in the morning, and golf always "makes my day." It makes Tom's day, too, because it gets me out of the house.
OK, I have to be truthful. Tom is fully packed for our Monday morning departure to China for the Olympics, but I haven't packed one item yet.
Today is Saturday, August 2, 2008, by the way.

WE understand that Billy could maybe be going with you. It would sort of be like your golf...it would get him out of the house. The decision will be made today.
