I like it fine right here in Larrytown, thank you, but North Shore on Oahu is sounding better by the minute! Can you smoke a decent brisket, babs? Or is that too much tassle? er...I mean hassle.

I think I'll buy one of the old missile silos out in the middle of no where and make a bunker out of it and hunker down.

I can't think about this now, knowing that poor Kate got her photo taken without her shirt on

My granddaughter says I have to come with her when she goes to college. I will be retirement age by then......I think she just wants me to cook and wash clothes. Sadly, I will probably have to stay right where I am.....

I'm a fifth generation Kansan, I've lived in Lawrence for 30 years, my house is paid off, hate the winters, but I'm here until the end. Never will be able to retire but this is home.
