APPLE DAY

The Pink Panther recently went to pick apples. She soon tired of having her picture taken as you can see in this photo.

She has also been going golfing with me lately. She has a plastic club and foam ball but really she just likes running around like a crazy person! She is really getting big and is having a lot of fun being a kid.

Three questiions:

1) Have you heard the group Band of Horses?

2) Kodak or Fuji?

3) Red apple or green?

Bye for now,

Not much going on right now. The TOM was great and it was great seeing Brad. He is a nice guy and it was great to see all the support he received. I guess I will just post some pictures and call it a day.

Three questions:

1) Did you watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

2) Who is your favorite rider?

3) Are you happy Notre Dame is 0-3?

Bye for now,

My future sister-in-law?


Today I turned forty. Yes, that is right, 40! It really does not matter to me as it is just a number. I had a wonderful day with CJ and Sophia. We ran errands and had meals together and just really had a nice time. As I get older it seems like every birthday is better than the last.

Birthday Party, Step Child Lounge

First off, if you missed this one you missed some fun. I had old college friends, work friends and biker friends all together and it was fun. The smoke was thick and so was the bs from all parties. I had old friends surprise me and come in from Bolivar, Jeff City and St Louis. Old stories were told and I think everyone had a good time. CJ had some old pictures of me up and everyone liked the transitions lenses and the halfstache from days gone by. The drinks were good and so was the cake. I received several cards and presents and appreciate them all. If you took the time to come by I want to thank you for helping make it such a great time and one to remember!

40TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

Here is a map to The Step Child Lounge. Party begins at 8 pm on Saturday. If you did not receive an invitation you are still invited to come by. I was not able to mail an invitation to everyone I know but this does not mean that you are not welcome.

Presents are expected and I prefer Burberry, Lacoste, Penguin, Polo, etc.

If anyone has an extra woman laying around bring her to the party as Seth The Salesman and Jimmy The Cricket are a little lonely and not very picky!

Three questions:

1) Do you think Apple should give $100 to the people who bought the iPhone early?

2) Are you buying a "I Love Brad" tshirt?

3) Would you drive a diesel powered vehicle?

Bye for now,

SPONGE RECOVERY

One of the incisions.




Where the IV went in.


Sponge is doing great and will be back to full speed in no time.

Bye for now,
Shane

SPONGE UPDATE

Sponge is fine. The cysts were just fat buildup(they are still sending them off for testing) and his teeth are now clean. He came out with just some hair missing and a few new scars.

Bye for now,
Shane

MINOR SURGERY FOR SPONGE

Tomorrow Sponge is getting operated on by Dr Ned. He has three cysts that need to be removed and checked and also is having his teeth cleaned. Even though he is eight his teeth are not very dirty but while he is out I am going to have it done. I am sure the cysts are nothing to worry about but it is better to be safe than sorry. At his checkup last week all his tests came back great and his senior blood analysis was also perfect. As strong as he is I am sure all will be fine.

Three questions:

1) What saddle should I get on my new bike?

2) What tires do you think are best for racing?

3) What brand is your favorite bike computer(no SRM rich boys)?

Bye for now,
Shane
