Chill'n

I got fifty bones for my birthday, plus fifteen more from a tent sized Cardinal shirt which was returned. I have been trying to decide what to spend all of the birthday money on, and it has been a hard process. The nice guy in me thinks I should by a little tykes b-ball goal for Owen and take Ann for a movie, but they didn't turn twenty-nine, I did. So, I have had some ideas. WalMart is offering a slew of skateboard packages in my price range, and we do have a new skate park close by. There are so many kids out there every time we drive by... I really could see myself gleaming the cube with them. Adventuresome Ross, a new contact fresh in from Colorado, told me that skating was the hardest thing he has ever done and that I should invest in all of the pads and helmets. That would put me over my budget, so I guess skating will be left to my dreams. I also have thought about buying baseball equipment (mainly just balls and wooden bats) in an effort to get my midnight baseball league off the ground. Its going to be pretty huge, with play all over southeast Missouri once the word spreads... people love playing baseball. I may just go by a chainsaw since we have three trees that need to be cut down... or a cool Firefly for Owen. He needs to keep in touch better.

J-town is hot. We recently went to the Jon Mark Milde wedding and proudly sported our Elvis gear at the rehearsal dinner. Looking forward to http://www.labordayatthebeards.com/
