Good morning everyone. I hope that everyone had a great evening, and even a better day today.

Thankful, how are you doing this morning. I want to hear some good things from you this morning. I hope things are continuing to get better each day.

Soon, how are you. I hope you slept good last night, and maybe woke up with a little ray of sunrise shining on your [censored]. Something tells me you did. How's Jubal doing?

Jubal is still the same, he did sleep a little better last night though. He is still running a fever so I'm pumping the tylenol in him. I was thinking that maybe he was just cutting new teeth cause he kept his hand in his mouth all day, but this morn Milas started coughing too, so I don't know. Maybe it's just a bad cold. But I wish it would go away. He's so pitiful looking, his cheeks are all red from the fever and he doesn't really want to play much. I had to hold him just about all night, but I didn't mind.

Did you get my last email Tired?

I did get your email, and I responded. It was a very good email.

I had trouble waking up again this morning. The time change really messes me up for a while. You know, sunrise can sure be a bitc#.

I'm sorry about the baby being sick. That's so sad, with the red cheeks. Maybe he will feel better today, and start playing again. How are you today?

This is not a private conversation, so how is everyone?

Haven't heard from Thankful in a little while. If I had her email address I'd email her and check on her. I sure hope things work out for her and her H.

I've had trouble waking up too. I push the snooze button way too many times. Bad habit of mine. I purposely put my alarm clock all the way across the room so that I'd HAVE to get up thinking that I'd just stay up. Doesn't work. I climb all the way out from under my warm covers freezing my [censored] off just to get nine more minutes of sleep. Sillyness I tell ya.

Where's my dang stapler. Finally.

Oh yeah, that clock across the room thing doesn't work either. Those warm covers are just too inviting.

What did you cook last night? You can tell that I live alone, always want to know what someone cooked.

I fixed potato soup. What did you have, oreo salad?

What did Sam have for supper?

What's the weather like there today? Here, it's beautiful right now. But it's supposed to get bad this afternoon into the morning. But we'll see.

What's the gas prices there? OK, now I feel really old. We are discussing the weather and now I've brought up gas prices. Good Lord.

I had a lovely oreo salad, and Sam had some dog food. I can't remember, maybe it was the other way around.

It is sunny and warm here this morning. If you get the weather that we had last night, watch out. There were 5 tornado warnings going at one time last night, they just kept popping up. I got some hail and wind, but no damage that I saw.

Gas is running about $2.45 here. What about there?

Yeah, we are in the geriatric topics now, but you and I can talk about anything, and often do, so I don't mind. I haven't checked with Sunrise to see if this is ok, but we'll have to chance it. I'm sorry, I've got to let that go. No more wise cracks from me, ok?

I've got to do some laundry and house cleaning this weekend. Zach is coming over, so he and I will do something too. Maybe go shoot some pool and go to dinner or something.

I'm probably going to write a lot of emails to you this weekend also. I hope you don't mind. I've got a lot to say I guess. And I remember your whisper, "if I send them to you, I want you to read them". LOL.

What are you going to do all weekend? Something fun I hope.
Maybe, just maybe, win the lottery!

Gas here is $2.49. They say by the end of the summer it will be over three dollars a gallon. I hate it.

keep the emails coming mister cause I sure do like them. You just had to make a comment about that didn't you? I wanted to but kept my mouth shut for once.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do this weekend. I wanted to take the boys over to Cherokee but since the weather is supposed to be bad tomorrow I think I will wait until it's pretty. So I'm sure we'll end up just watching movies or something.

What do Milas and Jubal like to do. You said something about them liking to look at wildlife, like bears and deer. Do you have a zoo nearby where they like to go? Maybe someday a trip to the Dallas Zoo would be in order. It's pretty awesome.

Gas at $3/gallon scares me. Oh well, what can we do about it. I have a friend who's an accountant and financial guru, and he says that if everybody in the US would just not drive for one day, the supply/demand ratio would completely change and prices would plummet. Easier to say than do though. I did hear that if you live in Tennessee and are coming to Western Arkansas, that all gas is provided for free, so at least that's not anything to worry about.

What is there to do at Cherokee?

Did you get my follow up to your last email regarding sitting in the rain? What did you think?

Milas and Jubal are pretty much like their mommy, they can be happy just doing absolutely nothing. There is a zoo in Knoxville, I'm going to take them when it warms up a little more. But I bet the Dallas Zoo is much bigger and better. Milas I think will be an avid deer hunter. Evertime he visits my brother he has to go "check the honey hole". He knows exactly where it's at too. He has a pretend shotgun at the house and he's all time pretending he's killing a deer.

I could handle not driving for a day. As long as it's on the weekend. I can be perfectly happy staying at home as long as I have good company.

Free gas in Arkansas, shoot, I may just move there.

Cherokee, there's a Harrah's casino but I was going to take the boys just to enjoy the beautiful mountains and take them to visit the indian reservations. Milas would like that. I haven't been to Cherokee since I was thirteen. It's nice there as far as I can remember.

Yes I did get it. Man, it's getting a little warm here in the office.

Sounds like fun. I bet they would really like Sea World too. Maybe that can be a recovery visit.

The free gas for people visiting from TN, is only for qualified people. I know some people, and am pretty sure that you would be qualified.

We have a lot of avid deer hunters here too. It's like a religion. I like doing it, but I'm not very good at it. Just getting out is as much fun to me as actually bagging a buck. Do you like to hunt? I had much rather go to Kansas or Iowa and pheasant hunt. I like to be moving rather than just sitting on a stand.

Got your text. Gonna answer it now with an email.

It's ok I guess. I used to hunt some when i was younger, I've never killed anything. My dad used to hunt a lot but his health has went downhill and doesn't do it much anymore. All three of my nephews hunt, it's the same here...like a religion. Do you like to eat deer meat? I love some fresh tenderloin and catheads. Though I can't make catheads from scratch, I get them from the bag in the frozen section.

Do I have to fill out any forms or anything to be qualified for this free gas in Arkansas thing?

No, just check your mail before a planned visit.

Catheads, now you're talking. I love venson, if it's fixed right. Guys I work with make the best deer jerky and summer sausage. It is to die for.

Check your email, ok?

I checked it and have responded giving once again more information that you never even asked for, but I offered it anyway.

I responded to that also.

What's for lunch?

Chicken and veggies. How about you? Fast food again today?

You must stop that you know, it's very unhealthy. Do you workout/exercise?

I normally like to walk. I haven't been doing that too much lately, but I'm going to get started again. I usually walk on my treadmill so I can keep my pace up. I'm also going to get back on the ab work, push-ups and dips. I love to play basketball, and catch with any kind of ball. I love to play pool, or ping-pong in my shop. I'm a kid at heart.

Probably fast food again. It's just so, well, fast. Chicken and veggies does sound good.
