Oh the pain of it all! What's a guy to do? Did someone call me "Rodney Dangerfield?" Where's the respect?
Okay dear family members, let's now get the real perspective on Tom's visit...
1. Okay, maybe I was moving along at a quick clip through the streets of Hollywood/Beverly Hills/Santa Monica...but I was only keeping up with the traffic!!!!
2.) If Tom really cared, he would have noted that I treated his family to a fine tour...oh he may say that it was just a blur as we moved along, but nonetheless, a tour is a tour. I really think that Tom was upset because I didn't take him to where Phil Hendrie (Tom's hero) broadcasts and lives. TOM...GET A LIFE.
3.) And Tom...we did find you.
Now, as for my oldest brother JOHNNIE...his commentary is slanted because he has lost our minature golf contests the last several visits. Envy, dear JOHNNIE is a sin. Try not to let it discolor the truth.
Now, for the real story...it was great having Tom, Bobbie, Carey and Sarah make time to see Krista and myself during their visit.
ps...Krista is darn proud she looks like me!!!
Honestly...she looks like my wonderful and loving sister, Theresa. Oh dear Lord in Heaven!!!
I spent today talking to sister Tess, nephew Tony and his wife, Karen, cousins Dan and Paula and Aunts Margie and Mary. WE ALL AGREE, OUR LIVES ARE FULLER BECAUSE OF THE GREEN CHERRIES WE ALWAYS RECEIVED FROM UNCLE ED AND AUNT MARY!!! What other person has any of us met in our many travels can speak about GREEN CHERRIES!! While I know they sat in our fridge for quite some time, I never knew what Mom did with those fine delicasies. Theresa probably experimented with them for her Home-Ec degree!!
Gee, maybe Tim could use them at his fine St. Louis culinary operation?
All in all, great talking to you all...and most of all...THE BROWNS BEAT THE BENGALS.
Krista says "hi" and I now say...so long...
