lol. People in India try to whiten their skin? haha! That's funny...because people over here in the States are all obsessed with tanning their skin. Anyways...Indian tv sounds pretty funny...Monsoon Makeover...haha! Well, we're all just sitting here enjoying Father's Day...we just went out to eat...and dad's watching the US Open golf tournament...so, we're good here. Have fun in the sauna! Hope to see you soon!

What a great story the two of you have!!! I have truly enjoyed reading/seeing all about it. I hope the rest of your trip was as enjoyable and as memorable as what I have read so far. Jane is right, you have a terrific way of words. Happy/safe travels, and good for you for allowing this to be so enlightening. Hard to tell what lies ahead.

LOVE hearing the stories...keep them coming...its the only entertainment we get here in Mansfield OHIO! We love you! Be safe!

Hey Mal Pal,

Your blogs make me laugh so hard (just like everyone else has said!)! I love your rap song to the Fresh Prince of Bellaire theme song. Ha!! I agree with Grandma...you should be a comedian write for Leno or something. lol. Well...gotta go eat some dinner with the boys...give Aunt Julie a big hug from me! Love ya.

-Hannah-

P.S. Thanks for the shout out. I feel loved. lol.

Hi Mal,

Just wanted to let you know I'm keeping tabs on you through your blog - I love getting the news, plus it is quite amusing. Just wanted to say Hi.

Love, Grandpa

Hey Stinker,

I laughed so hard i think i peed a little! Just picturing you and Emily being dropped off in the middle of the street going "Yeah, thanks cabbie cuz we know exactly where we are going...been here tons of times" Sweat box of hell, dead body smoothies! That's good stuff!

The night in the 105 degree no breeze hell box reminded me of my first year at the Woods in the non-air conditioned dorms...laying in a pool of my own sweat, tongue hanging out of my mouth, laying on that disgusting mattress that God knows what has been performed on because even the sheets are hot! So sweetie i feel your pain..maybe not India extreme though!

We won our first slugfest of a softball game last nite 23-21. No air conditioning here either but an incredible breeze coming off the Eagle river(where 19 people were knocked out of a raft, one lady floated like 20 miles before she was rescued...the same river i am rafting in next week!) It is gorgeous here I think i am in love with CO in the summertime!

Emily: "Mal what's that lovely scent you're wearing?"

Mal: "Well, Em its a mixture of burning corpse, body odor, with a touch of dead body sprinkles, and how could i forget the aroma of my hair on fire!!!!"

Hope you feel better soon, love you and miss you like Oprah misses meat! (heard she's a vegan these days)
