Off to Ames

Been quiet at Murphies. Everyone is busy. The Ps are headed to Ames via Denver and Mt Rushmore in a few minutes. Luke flies out with the team Wednesday. Laura is driving out with four friends squeezed into her car and an ex-cargo on top. We'll see if they're still friends when they get there.

We'll write if we find work.

3/4 of the Murphies who went to Ames have returned. Watch this space for further reports.

Note that the SE team was first in combined Style and Long-Term.

Awaiting the return of Laura.

We're all back at last. Laura and crew arrived at 7:30 Monday morning, still conscious and, apparently, still friends.

What a job Luke's team did! Add up the style and long-term scores and they were first, with a performance that put everyone else in the shade. There's a reason their style score is so much higher than everybody else's. It was that old demon Spontaneous that tripped them up. Pictures and a full post coming later, when I get a bit more organized.

Scott, how did you make that link so nice and small??

Scott shows a fine integration of long term solutions and style!

Just like Luke'st eam -- congratulations to all.

And thanks for letting us know Laura's team is home safely! Saw Jonathan at the parade this a.m., so knew the team was home.

Cassie, www.tinyurl.com will convert any of those long urls into a nice concise url. I found that the messageboards I use would not tolerate longer urls, James put me on to this site. Works slick. I also use it frequently in eMails. However, next question: How do I get a click-through in the body of a post? I assumed the program would note the form, but that doesn't do it.

Thanks for the tinyurl link, Scott -- how handy! The HTML below will put a click-through into a comment --substitute your link's URL for the letters URL, and substitute the word or phrase you want to make into a click-through for TEXT. Also, where you see asterisks, take them out and replace them with <. I had to substitute the asterisks because otherwise, when I post this comment, the HTML will disappear and turn the thing into a doggoned click-through.

*a href="http://URL">TEXT*/a>

I think it's funny Scott told you twice how to take up less space.

But that's just me.
