There’s only one India! Seriously, I love being here. Megan, we must do India soon.

DOUG. COME ON.

YOU DO NOT REALLY BELIEVE “…that most people are reasonable …” DO you?

Awww, Hon!!!
Has Meg taught you nothing?

(the horror and wonder of your wide eyed innocence!)

You po chile.

The reality of OUR culture has slurred in your time addled mind; jet lag and the like, I’m sure. Misstepped the non-mystery on this one,Dear.
uh oh! Am I NOW BASHING YOU AS WELL?!
eject eject eject

We’ll work together next month, ok?

It’ll be alright. I think there will be time enough.

come home quickly as there is much to be done.

HI, DOUG!
There are still dumps? Oh, that’s right–I lived in one for 13 years, didn’t I? Darn near a whole state. Yes. Well. Les bon temps roulet. No sense splitting hairs on past states lived in and crimes committed by said. (”MS has more than it’s fair share of the money..but who’d want to live THERE?!”…is HE running for anything, that sterling, daring wit?)

I support you, Doug. For the record.
In any and all.

I will also…take care of whomever you wish…who does not. Support you, that is. Or annoys you, for that matter. You seem far too kind in my estimation.

I WILL be in the area, afer all.
We can line em up and take em down, then I leave. future….brighter? More quiet? Make me a little list, Sweetie.

I know the dissing isn’t a thing for you. You’re too well grounded, well reared, and psychologically healthy ( and have too sound a sense of humor and compassion) to let it hurt, bother, or become too bored by it, which ever the case may be –and I have no doubt all have occured.
zzzzzzzzzzz. some past posts, surely?
Do you sometimes have to feign interest? You have always done a fine job with me!
Such a good lad. Pat, pat, pat. And a handsome one as well. OH, LaVonne has added some fine material to the pool, she has. Would so loved to have known your Dad. That was a serious comment–for the record. Know it is not always clearly seen when the oddity of it rares its head.
(How is LaVonne? OK?)

As you know, I’m not seriously into any of the above subject commentary at the present time, dealing with all the other world crises as I am. It’s not easy trying to save us all. Some just aren’t going to make the cut I’m afraid…sigh.

Really just wanted to say have a nice trip. But, guess it’s too late for that. You’re doomed, obviously, seat-wise.

But, on a scary note: I AM compelled to issue a warning to you that Auntie Linda has access to this and all of your blogs now.

Only one deleted comment thus far?
yes. well.(ha! and they don’t like ME?! LOL)
Get out the ole adding machine, Doug, my boy.
She’s on her way.
She’s even in your time zone.
Fortunately, perhaps, she has been forced to utilize the razzle, dazzle and long waits of dial up for now…so there’s that.

I know that YOU will enjoy (and may well, at some point in time during this very trip, wish that she was pounding away at the keys. We ARE an entertaining family, are we not? Though, often near the proverbial top of some envelopes. NO? YES? I need Molly’s right eyebrow now.or is it the left? Mol?) her and treat her with the courtesy she is due, but as for your…more serious, tow-keyed reading public? That tenuously vague line between work and personal blogging and those that straddle it?…well, hmmm…life as they know it? Your BLOG as YOU knew it? lol (les bon temps roulet? Perhaps. )

And, there has quite obviously been a quiet vote taken to ignore any posts that I make on either your or Meggie’s blogs. FEW though they have been for some good long time now. (I consider my resolve to eject and the maintenance of said to be worthy of comment and praise, if only in that regard!)

The vote.
I think it was wise on all your parts.

WELL DONE! Keep up the good work !

I am visiting far too rarely for it to matter to any of us I dare say.
(point them out to me at the party, Doug. no fingerprints. trust me. sliced like butter. poof. Dear God! I do have a rather sadistic side, it would appear, eh? And, so unchallenged. zzzz…)
Back to the real business of life for now.
Carry on.

much love, dear neph.safe trip and all that.

Kip, I think it was only a matter of time until I threw a head of lettuce at somebody and they ducked and it rolled out into the dining room. Some things never change. (Kip and I worked in a restaurant together in high school.)

Hope the upcoming weeks go a bit smoother for ya!

Keep pushing on transparency. It’s needed and it’s the right thing to do. And don’t let those WaggEd hacks steal all your stuff!

later,
