Cows On the Couch

The spouse, the boys and their friends (all guys) spent the last weekend before school opens next week – at Kelly’s Cove  – with the new thule roof racks on two of the father’s mini vans – they brought their biking equipments with them as well.   With 110% price match and free ground shipping the spouse argued we can’t go wrong in buying them.  Plus they do a lot of outdoorsy stuff during the summer – so yes – it was a good investment.  They do have bike packages and also water sports rack as well – so we will be looking into it as well during the next summer.

The weekend ended pretty good – according to the spouse – they did a lot of biking and hiking as well as canoeing – they are already planning where they want to go for the next summer.  So the water sports rack – will come in handy for that.   Boys will always be boys eh ?  but I do encourage them to do outdoorsy things as much as possible – it’s good bonding time for the fathers and sons – what about yours? do you make time for the children to be with their dad alone?

American journalists Euna Lee and arrive back to their families after being released by North Korean authorities yesterday.

“Thirty hours ago,” Laura said at a California airplane hangar. “Euna Lee and I were prisoners in North Korea. We feared that at any moment we would end up in a hard-labor camp. Then we were told that we were going to a meeting. We were taken to a location, and when we walked thought the doors, we saw standing before us President Bill Clinton. We were shocked, but we knew that the nightmare of our lives would soon be over.”

Laura and Euna, of San Francisco based Current TV, were both arrested by North Korea in March for illegally entering the country on the Chinese border and in June, were  sentenced to 12 years in prison. Yesterday, they were pardoned by President Kim Jong-Il after a meeting with former President Bill Clinton.
