The sport in Scouting is to find the good in every boy and develop it. Sir Robert Baden-Powell, British Army Officer, founder of the Boy Scouts

The Boy Scouts, Troop 61.

On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

We just got done with over 20 miles of hikes throughout Gettysburg National Battlefield. We also have gone through Colonial Williamsburg, participated in a witch trial, a tar and feathering of a loyalist, listening to Paul's stories at King's Army Tavern, visited Lord Dunsmore's Palace, the Gunsmith, the Printer, the Binder, and a whole lot of other stuff.

These guys are good...

Some Track Inspiration By: Christopher

I feel good while I’m running on the track.
Once I get going I’m never looking back.
I try to block out the shouts and jeers.
And listen for the advice and cheers.
Don’t ask me why I run.
It really isn’t fun.
The only way to gain
is going through lots of pain.
I love the way the wind blows through my hair.
Sometimes I forget that I’m actually there.
Second lap and two to go
I’m starting to get into the flow.
I pass men one, two, three
I feel the track as I grip it with my cleat.
Last lap its time to sprint
My coach gives me the cue, the hint.
I know that it will be a feat
If I beat the cheat.
I just broke the lead.
I must succeed.
Across the finish line I am first
My heart is about to burst.
The sweat beads on my forehead are asking for a friend
I pour some water on my head and they have a trend.
Soon to bed and then I sleep
Tomorrow I’ll have another meet.

Lauren Gets Us Lost

Everything was going fine...until, Lauren calls us to chat. Next thing, Tom realizes, that we just missed our exit. (Well, actually Aunt Joan realized it...but the debate is still on..) "Bye Lauren, thanks."

Tour de le Campus

Uncle Tom's Version: It was nice to meet Claire's "homie-girlz". They were all very "huggy-bubbly-nice".

Aunt Joan's Version: Spring and sunshine was in air! Lovely giftshop...t-shirt and books purchased.

Dinner At Friday's on Sunday

Great religions 101 discussions: A.) The days of Eden B.) Nudity policies C.) End of times D.) Vanilla Cheesecake....awesome

Mass On Monday

Tom: good. Very loud music, lovely.

Joanie (Hunny Cucial Crispy CRUNCH!): "I couldn't sing. I could only cry, through most of the mass, it was so beautiful. Chorus of Angels.

Mariology Class

Tom: Very good. Joan asked the professor about the validity of the Emmitsburg visionary, professor confirms that it was void of authenticity.

Joan: Wants to take theology classes...wants to further religious education (with her man??).

DINNER (Monday-Mexican Style)

Mexican polka with tuba resounding during our good meal and excellent conversation, regarding A.) Miracles B.) "Claire stories" C.) Apparitions D.) Good Salsa

The Seven Second Win by TRS

So the bet was: that with the music at (a little over) half mast, Joanie would turn it down, once she re-entered the car. Claire said she wouldn't touch the dial...at all. Tom on the other hand thought it would take AT THE MOST seven seconds.

Suprise, suprise...it took only 2.5 seconds.

Tom ... thinks he's a winner.

(Loser, much???...we know better:))

"All things are possible until they are proved impossible-even the impossible may only be so, as of now." - Pearl Buck

As many of you may know, I am a true "homme de Renaissance". Though we live on the edge of civilization here in Malone, I truly am the "gentleman scientist", the "patron of the arts", and of course, the humble country lawyer. Yes, a new and improved Thomas Jefferson!

Thus, it is with great enthusiasm that I refer you to my new discovery in science.

The tradition of the BBC in April Fool jokes is absolutely tremendous, like the 1957 Spaghetti Harvest in Switzerland. Of course, thousands of people called in to find out where they could get seeds for these spaghetti trees! http://youtube.com/watch?v=SyUvNnmFtgI&feature=related

Have a great day!
