I learned a lot this weekend. I called Jules to ask her to come out. I even offered to make lemonade, even though I’m not really that good at it. She was too busy. At first I got upset and started to explain how I need her now. Then she started telling me about all the things going on in her life right now. I will respect her privacy and not share those things here; however, I quickly realized that she has a very complicated life of her own and I was not respecting this. So I apologized.

From there, we talked for hours. It was like we were children again. Near the end of the call, she asked how my Mushroom Men were doing. For nearly two hours, I forgot about them. Excited, I told her all about the ideas and advice people have given me on the blog and how I am going to go out and find my robot and see what the Mushroom Men are up to.

Then Jules got so solemn, she told me that she thinks I should start on a new robot from scratch and make it the best robot the world has ever seen! I was so excited that I spent most of today looking photographs on the hypertext Internet – you know, for inspiration.

Then, tonight, Jules had to remind me to update my blog. When I saw the video we are posting today – I realized I have been wanting to start a new robot all along. It is so clear now. It is a blessing that my last project is gone. Now I can begin new and fresh.

Still, I feel a little sad about my last robot. She was sleek and full of potential. I would have enjoyed seeing her fully operational and complete. But jules reminded me not to dwell on the past.

I am thankful for how full my life is. I will start a new robot. However, I must first deal with the crisis at hand. We still have videos and photographs to share with the world. Getting the word out is key!

I also have a mission – I must infiltrate the Mushroom Men kingdom and get a status update. Visitors to my blog have told me that they are encountering Mushroom Men all around the world. Some claim that they can communicate. I do not know if I can trust these reports, but as the first person to encounter this life form – I MUST FIND OUT!
