Like a Monday in Bangkok

We've been kidnapped to Ann Arbor Michigan and as our captors were bringing us in from the airport, we noticed that everyone was wearing a yellow shirt. We were reminded of Mondays in BKK when everyone wears a yellow shirt to honr te king. Unfortunately, this is the Midwest and the shirts were worn to show support for the U of Michigan football team, playing a home game. This pretty much sums up the difference in cultures.

Of course, if everyone had been wearing a Red Sox shirt,the highest state of being would have been reached.

Tell your kidnapper(s) that I've received their demand along with your bloodied left ear and will paypal them the ransom after I buy more airtime at the internet cafe.

Don't give up, help is coming!

Hanuman--Are you sure that was his ear?? I would think kidnappers would be more likely to want to remove Andy's tongue!!

I'll contribute a dime to the release the panda fun though...ONLY seven more days till the GTG and we need Andy there!

PS Andy...what was the name of the north end restaurant the you like?

Craig,
We Cub fans are a bit frustrated as well. You would think that we could WIN every 100 years or so... lol

Lucy-either Bricco or Lemoncello.

Hanuman-thanks for your efforts, but the kidnappers appear to be holding out for a ridiculous amount. This may be a plot by LA Angels of Anaheim (talk about a stupid name) fans.

As we were driving in, one of my kidnappers (my son) pleaded with me not to roll the window down and scream "Go Buckeyes". This might have spoiled his plot.
