I get a phone call from my brother-in-law JT. For those of you who know him, JT is a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. Typically, when I get a call from JT, it's to tell me to turn to a particular channel for something important on television. Of course, I fall for this every time. And, when I change the channel as directed, I am staring straight into the fangs of some Burmese Python or other useless snake-like creature of which I am certifiably petrified. I scream. JT laughs. End of call.
In this particular call, he is very serious and wants to get straight to his point. I take a deep breath and prepare myself for the impending bad news. Sure that someone had died or been hurt in an accident, I calmly ask what's up. And, this is the respone I get ...

I look every day wanting updates on you and Beej and the kids. I am assuming the girls are back at school." I say, "yes, they left last weekend." He says, "I would know that if you would update the BLOG!" Again, I say, "okay," sheepishly. He says, it's a three-day weekend, get on it!"

Facebook has been fun in the interim, but I think the blog is where its at, or at least where it will be at when I get the laptop up and running. Thanks, JT for wanting to be in the know ...
