WOW!!!!!! What a weekend. It started with the earthquake here in the DC area. No damage unless you count 25 to 30 yo-yos & tops off of the shelves and all over the floor, not bad for a 5.8. And ended arriving Sunday afternoon to house and home with no damage from Irene. A lot accomplished with Family and friends but the best was Mike's day in Miamisburg. We did in fact surprise him, he had no idea I was coming until I drove into the Church parking lot. What a terrific day, this year I did not bring the rain like the last time I made it to the contest. Learning and teaching were the best parts of the day. The kids really got into the battles and the parents also had a great time. Mike I wound up with 21 of the gold coins, which should prove that 3 yo-yos are worth more than gold. :-) So glad that I could get there and join the fun, thanks for a great time.
The visit to Univ of Cincy was also a high lite of the trip. In addition to seeing John's and Brian's part of UC that adds so much to this community I got to see the classrooms that I used from 57 to 63. What a hoot! The top that John presented me from the Lab is very special to me, thanks.
John B, I know that many people had a lot to do with helping Mike make this a great event but none more that you. THANKS!
