Keith won the inaugural 4th of July Croquet Tournament.

His prize: The Tahuya Cup (via ddaarryynn)

This weekend’s reading from the beach house book collection: Bill Gates’ The Road Ahead.

What is the information highway?

How will the new technology change our lives?

Do I have to learn to use a computer?

The results of the first full month of our summer weight loss challenge were pretty successful for both of us, but a little more so for Dave.

Dave: -7.14% (14 lbs.) since 5/21.
Daryn: -5.16% (11 lbs.) since 5/21.

You’ll find Dave celebrating at the TeachStreet office today with a bag of totino’s pizza rolls, an ice cream sandwich, and a box of caramels…
