Hello from Greg,

I wanted to write to everyone and let you know about my new hobby. It is called the Popsci Prediction Exchange. It is sort of a stock market for future events. The people at Popular Science create a new stock based on something that may happen in the future and the I get to bet, with fake money, on whether that event will happen. One of the stocks that I own is saying that the space shuttle will launch before November 1st. Since I believe that will happen, I have bought 1000 shares of that stock. Well, the cool thing that has happened to me recently is that I have made it into the top 100 list. I am currently at 84th place out of 28,000. My username is "mystborn" from one of my favorite authors Brandon Sanderson. Go to http://ppx.popsci.com/ and click on the "Leader Board" link and then select the top 100 and look for "mystborn" near the bottom. If things are going good I should be there. If I am not on the list, my predictions have gone horribly wrong.

that is so cool! I wish I was cool that that! :) Regarding my hair color, tresa, the lady that does my hair just matched went a shade darker than my eyebrows (which isn't a lot). It worked out so well and I love it! :)

When you start to use real money, let me know and remember that I am your favorite mother-in-law. I always knew you were a smartie.
