I asked my Papa to email me a funny story that I could post on my blog. He had no idea what a blog was, and he wrote it in all caps, but here you go:

THE POOR GUY DIED ==WHEN WE CAME UP TO N.C AND WE WENT BY HIS HOUSE WE STOPPED AND I SAID HI TO HIS WIFE === NOW HE WORKED IN HIS SHOP IN HIS KITCHEN AND ALSO IN HIS BASEMENT ===I ASKED THE WIFE =IS ROY ==POINTING UP ==UP== OR POINTING DOWN ==DOWN === SHE SAY'S ==WELL I HOPE HE'S UP == I SAID ==IS IT O.K.

Go visit Miss Misery for two reasons. First, she's 18 today and needs your birthday wishes. Even if you don't know her, just go say "Happy Birthday" in her comments. Secondly, she's got a post where she's trying to get people's opinion on developmentally disabled people in the workforce. Y'all are somewhat educated as a group, so give her your opinion.

Postcards are going out today or Monday. I'm hoping people are appropriately horrified and embarrassed when they get them in the mail. If your cute little grandmother is staying with you next week, don't, for the love of the Pope and all that is holy, let her get the mail. Her frail little wizened heart cannot take it. I made 6 different designs that I will post next week sometime. If you haven't emailed me your address yet, you still have a chance!

Went and saw Ocean's Thirteen last night. I loved the first one and can re-watch it anytime it's on. The second one was overblown and self-indulgent. The third one gets back to the basics and was almost as fun as the original. Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin were great additions to the cast, and I loved the relationship between Brad Pitt and George Clooney. I'm looking forward to seeing this again, either in the theaters or on DVD.

Thank you to everyone who sent me Rewards numbers for Coke products. They can be found on the insides of caps and at the ends of 12-packs – please keep them coming!

I discovered that the only topping for a good Stuffed Crust Pizza is pepperoni. Adding ground beef as a topping just ruins it.
