Boy, you two are really making me miss CHCA ... this week (the sixth grade camp) was one of my favorites. Be sure to tell the kids that I miss them! I think my favorite Chinese word is 馬馬虎虎. It's pronounced "ma-ma-hu-hu" (with a high-pitched "singing" tone on the "hu-hu"). It is literally interpreted "horse-horse-tiger-tiger", but it means "so-so". So, on an average day, I'm feeling "ma-ma-hu-hu". And saying that always makes my average day just a little better! Hello Judy!

What a good idea. My personal favorite word is "sarcasm" :) Miss you Lance. I imagine you can tell a lot about a person by that one word they choose. What a good idea.
