Jim,
You are a better man than I am. The only way I'll begin to forgive that Rat Bastard is if he hangs himself in his jail cell. And someday I hope to tell him.
You deserved to go to bed at 7:00...it was a D afterall. I don't think much about the rat bastard, I'm just glad God put Cliff in that place so that he could be released from inevitable pain and agony of a slow death. Don't apologize to us girls that you found the best woman on earth, we feel sorry for Pam ;)
Uncle Rick is right. Maybe I'm just cranky. 155 is super fast and I'd never do it. My mini-van goes 73 tops. Yeah.
I think about my family members as they were living, not as they died. Maybe it's a Mormon thing - Eileen will understand. So can I re-do my 25 things?
