Pa, could you post the "harry's a cripple, you know" story on here? that would be great!

The parable of the non-writers

There once was a family of three kids and two parents. This family was happy growing up. As the children became adults, the parents were able to travel and visit them much. In the off season, they would try to email, try to call, and try to post on their blog. They did all right at emailing, and they did great at calling, but they sure were lousy on there blog. This unwise lack of motivation on their part was witnessed by the adult children, who then felt that they had the ability, nay, the right to not post on their individual blogs. The moral? The non writers seem to breed non writers. Amen.

...at your back

You've heard of the wind at your back. Well, this is better. It is "sun at your back". Reed loves to be home when the sun is shining in the family room. Isn't it great to enjoy the simple things in life?

Thick Black Smoke!

Big excitment in little 'ol Raymond last night. A building caught fire at technisol last night and there was lots of black toxic smoke. It left a really bad taste in the mouth. Reed did some "amublance chasing". The cops wouldn't let anyone get closer than Joe Kanyo's shop. Lots of firetrucks there. I am sure we will be hearing more. I don't think anyone was hurt, which is a good thing. That's about all the excitment we have!
