Went to Fort Wayne to go shopping yesterday. Hit Penney's and a couple other stores, the kids rode around in one of those big go-kart like thingys but were generally disagreeable. Today I went to Verizon and got us some new phones. The Moto RAZRs that everyone's getting. They should work out better than the ones we've had for over 2 years, which suck.

Thanksgiving Day. Beth and I took the kids up to Michigan and spent the day with her family. Pam & Marve's condo association has a rentable sorta-display unit-clubhouse that has a full kitchen and living room, so we had that. They also have the pool in the same building so we took all the kids (Ric & Nic's, and Steph & John's in addition to ours) swimming as well. Dinner was very nice. The kids all played together well.

From 11/4 to 11/20 I was on my third (final?) trip to Switzerland. This time, everything was ready for me (except 21 missing poly bars, which I just dealt with) and I get everything done. I even met a geocacher there. He spoke very little English, I speak very little German, but we did communicate in very short sentences.
