Let brotherly love continue. Somewhere in the Bible.

Here's an update on the Family Feud: After allowing the boys to take the lead, the girls were down by two points (but not really because one must never remember the unmentionable points scored by los chicos the first night There were three of them). The girls have had two additions to TG (Team Girls): Leslie from Washingtion state and Kelly from Alabama.

Rules have been now established that points cannot be given if the competition wasn't agreed upon prior to be worth points. For anyone who has ever played games with me or the Bingaman side of the family, you know that we just don't work this way. But I'm managing it. Cheating will probably be used to improvise, but as of yet, none exist, at least from my standing.

One the way back from picking Leslie up from the airport, we played Burn Up, the game where you roll up all the windows and turn on the heater. The first to complain loses. It ended in a draw. Kyle and Corinne tied. (Side note about that trip: We (Kyle, Corinne and I) left to get Leslie at 8 a.m. and picked her up about 9:35 a.m. As the copilot, I successfully navigated us, and we only had one circle we had to make at the airport because we drove to the wrong level. Kyle and I had agreed before that we would switch places (Corinne was driving) and I would take the back on the way home. So we pick up Leslie and make the switch. We left the airport at 9:40 a.m. (mind you, it took one hour and 35 minutes with this copilot) and didn't get back to camp until 1:45 p.m.!!!!! It was FOUR HOUR TRIP home! Every turn we could have missed, we did. All I'm sayin' is the new copilot (Kyle) needs to work on his navigational skills.)

Anyhow, we attempted to play Freeze Out (the opposite of Burn Up) and seven of us stood in the freezer for nearly 30 minutes before deciding it's just a game and not worth losing any toes over.

Well, last night, the girls regained the lead from a game of Nertz that los chicos wagered three points. (Not the same three points as before. This one game was worth three points to whoever won.) Max and Kyle were pretty upset. I'm not sure they've informed the rest of their team.

Go girls, go!
