Well, now that we've been to Chicago to meet Steve, we've seen a full 4/5 of the Schaefer family on this here Office Odyssey. Actually, if you count Lucy and Dasher, we've seen a whopping 6/7 of the Schaefer family, travelling from places as varied as San Francisco, Boulder, and Chicago to do so. We stop at nothing where Schaefers are involved. And, oh yeah -- Liz? We're coming for you next summer. The sequence must be completed for us to gain Total Schaefer Domination.
In any case, here's a brief recap of our Extreme Schaefer Summer.
First off, the Schaefer elders treated us to a wonderful evening in Boulder, Colorado. What a treat to eat a sitdown meal with pleasant company! What a treat to perform one's toilet in an actual bathroom! What a treat to use the phrase, "perform one's toilet!" In case you were wondering, Kristanne got a 9.5 for her toothbrushing routine, while I was nicked to the tune of a 6.4 for my shaving. Just a little work on my compulsories, though, and I think I'm back in time for Sydney in 2000, baby! I'm pumped and I'm ready!
Then, we hooked up with Carlos Guitarlos in San Francisco for some Bay Area hijinks. Carl's the one who doesn't have the spastic look on his face. We investigated the Guitarlos Experience in a little more depth later this summer, as you can see below.
Then, we were treated to an insider's version of Chicago by Brotherman Steve who turned us on to the deepest dish pizza we've ever sampled.
Finally, we hooked up with Carl and Azlina one last time in San Francisco, eating what may have been the Best Brunch Known to Man. These are some beautiful people, man.
And that's our paean to the First Family of Extreme Fellow Travellers -- the Schaefers. Hope you enjoyed it!
