well..

school has been done for a while. and i just now am able to breathe (breath?), breathe..

mary and i moved into a new place a couple miles north of our last place. much bigger and much nicer (much more nice).. my sister also moved in w/ us. i've been trying to get her into the city for a long time.. and she finally took the bait.. so there are 3 chicago elliotts now. dan, mary and tracey (aka sissy).

i bought a motorcycle.. in the 2 weeks i've owned it i've riden it about 3 minutes.. put a hole in the gas tank and now need to repair or buy another.. dang.. just my luck.. so when driving the car, i act like i'm on a motorcycle, much to mary's dismay. car's dont and shouldnt steer like a motorcycle.. it's scary when they lean.. :)

my dad is doing well, i noticed i hadnt updated in a while about his heart surgery. he's healthier than he's been in a long time. he climbed mt everest last week.. and by mt everest, i mean he probably watched the sox win 7 straight.. but seriously.. he said he's in the best shape of his life since he ran track in high school.. my question to teddy is, what did the navy do to ya? was that easier than running track?

mary still workin at the flower shop.. doing sales and design.. very busy. as usual.

anything else i'm forgetting?

loves.d
