Worker's Day

Today is International Worker's day. Does the US do anything with this? This is the second international holiday that I've heard of for the first time. The first was Women's day. China observes them both. We get a 6 day holiday! So I've been sleeping in till super late and being as lazy as I want. Sadly, that can lead to a bit of boredom. I can only go out for just a little while by myself. It's just not safe!
The other day, Brenda, Arthur, Anna and I went out to eat and then bowling. We found this new place that serves pizza! It's nothing like you and I imagine pizza to be, but it was close enough. Bowling was just the girls. Arthur has had a back pain for months, and just recently learned that he had a slipped disc! So he's been going to the doc regularly to get physical therapy, including somekind of electromagnetic shock accupuncture. I did the best ever in bowling. I got more strikes and spares then I ever have! And the last time we were bowling was like two months ago! So they were all messing around saying that I had been practicing on my own time behind their backs.
We had an interesting conversation about idioms. Arthur and Anna's first language is Russian, yet they are very fluent in English. They were saying how translating English idioms literally into Russian, they sound so crazy! Then they translated some of their idioms into English and it was very interesting to hear, because some didn't make any sense at all! They told one that they thought we would find very strange that translates into English: why do you point out the speck in someones eye when you have a log in yours. I smiled, and said that it comes from the Bible!! They were very surprised to hear that! It has been a Russian "idiom" for ages!

I just want you all to know that my girl Kelly Hope Miller will be officially graduating from college soon! Congratulations, Kelly. I love you a ton, and wish I could be there to see you walk.
