[Lost Dog]

Thanks! I've had a great trip, weekend, and birthday.

The weekend is winding down. Most of us are gone, and the few that are left are just hanging together at the hotel after a wonderful afternoon and evening at JP's house.

At 4 o'clock, the 17 remaining went over to JP and Erika's for dinner. Galya, Erika, and I made a bunch of great food, while other played music, built toys with Legos, jumped on the trampoline, taught a little pitching to JP's oldest, played Wii bowling and golf, and generally had a blast. We hung around in big and little groups and just talked and talked.

This weekend, I've worked out plenty, ate plenty, drank plenty, and had plenty of fun. The people at the Summits are the best, and it's really like going to a holiday at the family's house or something. It's like we've known each other forever. It's a sad thing as each person or two says their goodbye and heads to the airport, alone, in pairs, or in little groups.

Tomorrow morning, its the final three of us. Chris (Kuri), Shannon (Shannonb), and me, meeting up with JP and Galya (who's staying and working with JP for the next two months) to get in a final workout before heading home. It's going to be a good way to end the Summit -- getting some personal kb training from Galya and Chris, both of whom are pretty experienced with the KBs, already. We'll make sure Saturday's training wasn't wasted.

I've got plenty to say, but I'll have to compose my thoughts a bit more. For now, I'm heading down to hang with the rest of the group for the last night.
