Ben is correctamundo!

Even at our worst, Crums are well above average in everything that matters. Just look how many there are of us, we already got everyone else beat, hands down. (Thanks Mom and Pop for that one). I've got to agree with Ben though; we've had better days. But, if we can just hunker down and acknowledge our current shortcomings, then perhaps tomorrow we can recapture some of our glory days. With that as my motivation, let's move on to the meat of my posting:

Peter and I were talking recently about how cool Macyver is. This is one of the few things that we agree totally on. I was remembering how Peter got his "Macgyver-watching-privileges" taken away for two weeks, after attempting to make a bomb that Macgyver made in the previous week's episode. Of course Peter is still bitter about missing those two episodes, but who wouldn't be? My point is that Macgyver was an inspirational character in Peter's life, perhaps even a hero. There aren't enough people worthy of being heros nowadays, isn't that a shame? We can always look to the past though to find people of integrity: Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Lou Gehrig, and of course Macgyver.

I somehow feel that I failed in bringing back the magic of the "Crum Family Blog". It's like riding a bike though; you fall off a lot, you fly over the handlebars and break you collarbone from time to time, but eventually you put it back in the front yard and come in for dinner.

interesting... Macgyver vs. Lou Gehrig. there are no words. Bubble gum bombs vs. undeniable tenacity... I just don't know what to think about this.

Jess, aren't you glad you're married to Peter instead of Edwardo?
Love, Mom
