    You should probably get #14 accomplished BEFORE #9. Just sayin.

  2. Wren says:

    I was thinking that she should probably get #1-8 and #10-30 completed BEFORE #9, as folklore says #9 can require more than a little time.

  3. Barry says:

    In reference to #9, I have been lobbying for a parrot or a hamster.

  4. hannah says:

    By expand I meant expand our waist size….jeez, you guys.

  5. Midge says:

    Your ambitions have caused a slump in my posture–dang it anyway–just get a grip, old one!!

    “Expand Team HB”? I am pretty sure that that is just another expression for “getting another dog” in Hannah’s family language.
