Day 15

WAHH

Happy Monday! We are starting to feel that whole "Village is ending soon" vibe this week. There has been some awesome progress to be able to speak of this summer, and we are all pretty excited both for the Mini Fair/Auction AND to spend the rest of summer hanging out! This morning was a great singing session. We sang about the Titanic (too soon? nah), Noah's Arc (too soon.), and everyone's favorite beverage, COFFEE. Usually Mondays are much slower than today, I think we are really turning on the after-burners for our final two weeks.

Some interesting events for the day today:

This should've ended differently.

- CCC Karate Class: Commissioner Gabe's femme fatale visited for the whole day today. That's tough. She taught Karate 101 this morning, where about six Homesteaders learned the basics needed to become a true ninja. Being a blackbelt for three years now, Hannah definitely looked like she knew what she was doing (it looked like karate). We had one tough chick sign up, and hopefully more will sign up when Hannah hopefully returns for Karate 102!
- Patrick's Retirement Party!: Since our Homesteader Jack L is leaving us towards the end of this week, and since his Peep finished his house, turned it into a crazy cool bungalow, paid off his federal loan, AND quit all his jobs, we threw him a retirement party. More on that later.

Morning work block consisted of tons of work at Dark Elf Decor and the Diversity Shop, as well as a new store in the works called "Want free weapons for defense?". The newspaper was working on a copy (it's a daily newspaper, pretty awesome), and the bank was keeping accounts accurate. Everyone works so well together there's hardly any time for revolting against the oligarchy anymore. Our leaders have proven to be some pretty level-headed politicians, except for Alex, it is a little crazy. For those who had completed their fence, house, and map, they were ready to start thinking about their Mini-Fair attraction.

RETIREMENT PARTY

After several people headed down to the pond with Paisley to release his pet leech?, we all gathered for some mid-day CTF, which is actually Noodle Flibbit. Teams fought valiantly. We spent the last few minutes before lunch learning a new circle game that has been temporarily named "Stalker".

Second work block as loaded with last minute preparations for the retirement party as well as the printing of the Jane Daily. The sudoku is impossible. Seriously. At 2:00PM we promptly began partying down in the town of Tarzan. Embarassing stories were told about Peep Patrick including chewing ABC gum and accidental indecent exposure. Oh man, the stories.

We extended the party for obvious reasons, and after an efficient Corvee returned to just ten more minutes of "Stalker".

We will certainly miss both Patrick and Jack L!
