Kyle Salmon finally, and I mean FINALLY, proposed to the very lovely and oh-so-patient Jenny Lalko. I'd say good job Kyle, but honestly, you should've manned up a long time ago. You're lucky Jen stuck around. Jenny, who as you see will make a lovely bride, has set a date for May of 2010. Kyle of course was thinking of sometime more around 2020.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Julie got a job! As you may recall, Julie quit her job last September and used that time to mentor some kids at an inner city school here in Kenosha. Mostly she did math and reading intervention. Of course I'm incredibly proud of her for this, but now...
BACK TO WORK, WOMAN!

My pal Colleen O'Connor went to Rome again, and met another POPE! This is the second Pope Colleen has met in her life and her third papal audience overall! This is crazy, Colleen. There are Presidents who have met with his Holiness less times than you have. This is bordering on stalking. I've heard of rock band groupies, sports star groupies, but Papal Groupies? I don't get it. Colleen is an attractive girl. You'd think she could find someone her own age to date. (Or at least somebody who hasn't taken a vow of celibacy.)

Stephanie R. has moved to Arizona. Tucson to be exact. They offered her a big promotion at work, so she packed up and moved to "The Grand Canyon" state. It's a dry heat Steph...so's my oven, but you don't see me sticking my head in it.

My Uncle Chuck and my Aunt Pam have retired. This is the like the second time they've both retired, so you never know, I'm sure there's something that's going to grab their interest soon and they'll go back to work.

This is Cheri, who as you know, hates me for putting her picture in this rag, but I put it in every issue anyway, because I'm an a-hole like that.
