Their skills > mine though! Thanks - I might just need some of that luck, seeing as I'm applying to some rather selective schools (but they're much more generous with financial aid for international students; and realistically speaking, I need at least close to a full ride to get anywhere :/) But yeah, assuming I even manage to get in, it looks likely that I'll be studying there come fall 2011 ;) Right...make that one of the list of treats to ban my dad from (his blood pressure and cholesterol can be a bit dodgy :|) I don't really like licorice, though the red ones (which use fruit flavoring like strawberry instead) are not too bad. Crazy, indeed! Indeed, trying to “shepherd” a bunch of unruly 12-14 year olds (there must’ve been over 100 of them) was no mean feat :D

First, I'm glad that your dad's career has taken a turn in a positive direction. Second, I'm glad the play went really well! It sound like you all really worked your butts off for a great show. Also, kudos to your lil' bro for the Wisconsin conference! I bet it took a lot of hard work to get to the international level! And finally... HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY! Howard looks absolutely gorgeous! I'm rather jealous you know how to play a harmonica. I always thought it was totally B.A. when a guitarist whips out a harmonica during a show, hehe. Anyway, good luck with your college apps/essays! Does this mean you'll be studying here in the U.S.? Finally, to answer your question, licorice root/extract can make your blood pressure skyrocket if you consume too much (i.e. eating licorice candy every day). The candy I eat only has a small amount of licorice extract and is flavored mostly with anise extract, therefore, it's much safer to eat. Crazy, huh? Boy, a lot HAS happened since your last post!
