Stock Tip

For all of you savvy stock people, here's a tiny tip: buy stock in Hanes. I must have purchased 3000 pair of underwear and socks over the past 2 weeks. And I may not even be done. Underwear and passports. These are our essentials. I have been advised that there is definitely no clothes dryer anywhere in Rieti - unless I pay for full laundry service - which I still may consider. So the underwear cache is really important. On the emergency days, everyone will be wearing their respective bathing suits. I'm hoping this doesn't happen often, as I'm sure that this is pretty much a guarantee of "not blending" with the culture (although, we may be surprised. Ed might not be the only little kid walking around with the Disney "Cars" on his hiney).

So I'll end with a picture of our first graduation this year. (Yes, it's a tuxedo) Edwin "graduated" from pre-school last Thursday and wanted to know if he could start Kindergarten on Friday. He's ready. He's a big boy. He wears Hanes - and wears them well. Go out and get that stock.
