Details, prep

Those of you that don’t read the comments on the blog will have missed an appearance by Missie herself.  She was kind enough to offer up her version of the engagement that I have no recollection of.  I have to admit, even with her claims of the event it has not triggered any memory of me actually being engaged to her.  I may have blocked it out of my memory although it’s odd that neither of my parents recall this either.  Anyway, here you go in case you missed it.

“In the future, when you’re writing your lame entries, do not use my name. A few mutual friends told me you were writing about me. They were right!

For your reference, you bought me a diamond solitaire. We never set a date, but we were engaged. Funny thing you don’t remember the ring. You purchased it when I was a senior in high school.

As a matter of fact, I still have the ring. Want it back?

Stop blaming me for you dropping out of college too. You were a big boy. If you didn’t want to quit, you wouldn’t have. Stop using me as your excuse for all the stupid things you’ve done.

It’s about time you learn to own up your mistakes and stop blaming everyone else.”

She’s such a sweetheart, thanks for attempting to clear that up!

This weekend we need to get prep going for our big adventure out west.  There are a number of things that need to get addressed to prepare the homestead for our absence. Ali is doing a team triathlon in Naples.  She will be doing the running portion.  It’s funny, I get the feeling that she almost would like to do the entire thing herself.  She has really been working hard on her swimming.

It looks like the latest BP attempt to control the oil leak is yet another epic phail.  The level of incompetency on display here is historical.
