I'm the proudest dad in the world every time I see that picture.

[Kathy in Alaska]

That is one special picture! Daddy looks proud, but young son looks equally proud to have Daddy home and to wear his helmet.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I hope you can find someplace to sit and eat.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you, AZ, for the red, white, and blue.

[txradioguy]

I just talked to him on the phone. Guess who has a huge smile on his face. :D

[Kathy in Alaska]

Ummmmmmmmmm....it's 2:30 in the morning at home. I take it it is NOT a school night. d:o)

[txradioguy]

He was in Witchita Falls with my SiL while BJ took care of that issue in Midland. She jsut got there and he wanted to talk to me.

[Kathy in Alaska]

She does seem to be obsessed. I feel so bad for her son. She so dishonors him.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Checking up on Dad! How cute! 2 days!! 25 more minutes on air, right?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Sand, for today's verse.
