I received this e-mail today from a poor lady who is going to die. She apparently is going to leave me $5,000,000.00. Wow! That is so nice of her to think of little ol' me in her time of passing.
Here is the letter...

The Car is Fixed....
Got my car back the same day it went in. Turns out that it was just a sensor of some sort in the transmission. Not the transmission itself thank goodness.
I got a thing cut off of my neck yesterday. That was fun. No, it wasn't my head. Quite possibly a second head trying to come in, but not my main head. I have a couple of stitches and if anybody wants to see I'll post a pic, but don't feel obligated; it's kind of gross.
Oda Mae and I are trying to decide what to do today. Maybe we'll go to the stockyards to see what's going on there. Who knows....
BTW, if you're wondering what we do everyday, make sure that you click on the picture of the day to read the comments I make. It's pretty insightful.

The Weekend and a 3-Year-Old
Hello all,
I've been meaning to put up an actually blog post, but have just been a little busy. Never-the-less, here it is. This weekend was an Abilene weekend for me, so I was able to get away for a couple of days. I was able to stay overnight on Thursday night this time because GeeGee was keeping Oda Mae on Friday. I decided to do a little bit of genealogy work Friday so I figured I'd get up early and head to west Texas. I left Abilene at 5am and headed for Odessa. While there I had just enough time to get some tombstone pictures and make my way over to the county library. I didn't really find anything other than the tombstone pics, but it was fun searching for a couple of hours. When I finished, I had just enough time to drive to Kermit and check out the cemetery there. I was able to get all of the pictures I needed just before I had to make my way back to Abilene for rehearsal that evening.
BTW: Uncle J. & Aunt N. Mom reminded me yesterday that you guys live in Kermit. I totally forgot. Next time, I'll make sure to give you guys a call, maybe we can catch lunch or something. I was on a pretty tight schedule anyway. You guys should come up and check out the Philharmonic in a couple of weeks. We're playing movie music and I can hook you up with tickets. :)
Unfortunately, my car started acting weird on the way back. Turns out a transmission sensor went bad. I made it back to Abilene just fine, but not with out a couple of scary-going-10-miles-an-hour-on-the-highway adventures.

Oda Mae is 3 now. That means she isn't 2 anymore. "Yes", you say. "That's usually what that means...". Let me explain. The day she turned 3, she decided that she finally knew the ropes and was going to take charge of her own life. She suddenly became her own little person. Oda Momma and I had a little chat last night about what we were going to do with her. It's too late to turn her back in for another model, guess we'll have to keep her and deal with what we've got. Lately, we've been pretty hard on her to be polite, take her naps, and generally not be a little hoodlum. I think that as she gets older, we have to one-up her on the parenting. We can't do the same things we did a year ago to get her to behave. We also have to pick our battles more selectively. She gets pretty upset about anything that she isn't allowed to do, which lately is everything. I'm pretty sure I'd get an attitude if I was told that I can't do anything that I wanted to do as well. So we're trying to come up with a compromise. We'll back off and pick our battles if she'll be a little nicer to us. I think it's going to work. Turns out she's pretty shy around other people as well, (I wonder where she got that from?). We have to really let her warm up to others on her own time.
God, this is starting to get harder every day. I thought I had it all figured out WAY BACK WHEN (Check out the entire day).

esc
What the heck does this key do?
I remember a couple of decades ago that if you were stuck on a page of some sort you could press "esc" and ESCAPE. But now, I've never been able to use it for anything. Is it just for looks? Are the keyboard people just keeping it around for posterity? What?
That's all.
Hey, has anyone noticed that my daily 365 pics are getting a little weird? Maybe it's just a phase.

Check this out....
Okay, those of you who were at the Oda Birthday on Saturday may remember that Aunt Sandy gave Oda Mae a little flower pot with some seeds. Before she left, Aunt Sandy helped Oda Mae plant the seeds. We put the flower pot on the table next to the window and since Saturday this is what has happened...
So, that's quite a bit of growth in 4 days. The amazing thing is that you can almost just sit and watch this thing grow. I'm going to take another picture of it tonight, say around 9pm. That will give this little plant 12 hours to do its thing. Trust me, you'll be in awe.
EDIT: Okay, here are the before and after pictures. Click on the pic for a larger view.
Pretty crazy, huh?
