Well....

it's been a long time and lot's of things have happened. Where do I start....?

How about the company I work for has closed the northeast manufacturing and distribution facility and I have been up there 4 out of 6 weeks dealing with the fallout from the closing. Did not make it in to my Charlotte office for three weeks straight.

Or, we could mention how lousy Manchie's business has been this summer. Or, we could ...... enough already.

Manchie and I have started with a new series at church called "30 Days to Live" based on the last days of Christ's life as a man. Odd, the series last for 6 weeks. We have had 2 meetings so far and I've missed one of them. Tomorrow's meeting conflicts with an appreciation dinner for volunteers at church and we have decided on the dinner. I may actually get kicked out of the small group for lack of attendance.

Holly just called and said Hannah (you know, one of the grandkids) may be coming over to stay with us tonight. Holly and David are going to friends for dinner and Hannah doesn't fit with the ages of the other kids. We'll find out if Hannah had rather spend the night with old folks or boring folks. Wait.... both of them fit us.

Oh yeah, one more thing. You guys can guess that I tend to be Republican. Was not excited about the three candidates that we in the race..... Obama, Biden and McCain. Then.... WHAM.... Palin...!!! One out of four at bad. Ordered stickers for my truck and a yard sign. I have to vote for Palin and that senator she has running with her.

Enough for tonight. Spent today running errands, including haircut with Macon, and working in the yard. Manchie says I should take a shower.
