So......... looking forward to seeing you all. I have decided I am a bit of a selfish arse.

Killing myself trying to get my son set up and ready to leave for college... he has cerebral palsy and we leave monday to head to SIU. It is a nice 7-8 hour drive and I will be there at least a week to make sure everything is set up. Oldest son has been gone most of summer and youngest will start school while I am out of town. Still in my jail sentence of a marriage. and trust me when I say.... hell has nothing on this. Thanks to a legal system that really is messed up I am stuck with the psycho socio path until I can safely escape. After 9 years of having no companionship I finally found someone to spend time with and of course that p*** other people off and disturbs them. Others don't exactly agree with the way I have handled the madness. Whatever. I need some happy to. and BN helped me realize a few years ago that enuf is enuf. and now my mother in law is in the hospital and very sick. I am concerned and of course want her to get better. But this is where I am rather an arse bcuz right now my biggest concern is getting a tall cold drink with lots of jose in it in my hand. SO..... see u all real soon!! Fins! :wench:

I really don't think we will be there till about 2 or 3 tomorrow.

Just realized we were parked right by Ejr (Ellen) and all the BN'ers last year. So close, but never made it away from Matt's tailgate. We were parked in the second row probably right behind the rest of this Chi-group. Go figure. See all of you at some point tomorrow.

Kris and I made it here safely.

I won't be on much tonight, so if anyone needs anything, please call or text my cell.

We forgot cups for my booze. Can anyone help me out on that one?

So, I assume thats a no on the sandwich tray.

We will be bringing the veggies and whatnot.

See you all tomorrow am around 10 or so.
I think I'll take my shoes off and go walking

Why would I ever want to leave?

Is it Buffett yet?
First you learn the native customs
Soon a word of Spanish or two
You know, that you cannot trust them
'Cause they know, they can't trust you
Expatriated Americans, feelin' so all alone
Telling themselves the same lies
That they told themselves back home

After coming in from cutting the grass this morning, I'm officially worried about all of you 10am-ers... please pay attention to your bodies, and keep yourselves cool and hydrated throughout the day. Don't be reckless.
