-18 How can I distract the chicks? Awww, look at this cute puppy.

-16 (In a whispered tone) If we get some more rain, we'll be running Suck Creek on Saturday. No rain, probably do a bit of flatwater paddling in the Tennessee River Gorge. I stayed dry last weekend, so I'm getting a bit antsy to get back in the water.

-16 Time for a little hair of the dog that bit you? Or water...that works too. Take it easy and get well.

The weird thing is, I was just talking about that movie a couple of days ago. Great suggestions for band names: Gary King and the Enablers. Odd Ball and the Shifty Twins. Bermuda Rhombus and the Aqua Nazis. "Write that down!"

If I could just say a few words, I would be a much better speaker. But seriously...thanks for the kind words and the reminder. Not to downplay a five-month anniversary, but perhaps the most notable aspect of this for me is that I forgot it was an anniversary. Back in March, I remember counting not just days but increments of time. 12 hours! 24 hours! 36! 72! And so on. Fast forward to the present and now another month passes and I barely notice. Not only does it get better, it becomes your new normal. Glad to be on the Train. You can find freedom here. The babes, tunes, and cheeky jokes are just gravy.

NOPE!

So long as you get your candle blown...Happy birthday!

Welcome aboard James and congratulations on your two-years of freedom. Also, congratulations to your wife. She has made one of the best decisions of her life and the two of you can enjoy your newfound freedom together.

NOPE!

Delightful Doreen. Our Lady from Liverpool. The Scouse in the house. Always there with a kind and supportive word...shining a light on the path for those of us who follow. Generous and compassionate. Funny chick and a very naughty girl. Doreen is awesome! Congratulations on your three-year anniversary. I can't think of anyone more deserving of a celebration.

As usual, the sticks will rise again.

0 Nothing to see here...just a proper spanking.

0h! Even with rampant cheating, the chicks could not defend our relentless attack. Nice work Joe.
