What's the matter, love? Don't trust yourself?

Thanks, mates. My wife and I appreciate your support and well wishes more than you can ever know. :)

But what about John Steed?

My wife recently ditched all her daycoats and jodhpurs. Now all we have is all our Western gear. :)

Sneak theives! What a waste of skin they are! Hoperfully all will be righted soon, William. :)

Petee, where's you get pictures of my high school graduation party?

A fierce steed? I'll have to have a chat with Ace about that. He's more akin to a 78 stone puppy dog. But no matter... I'm back, and word has it there be a party somewhere's about?

My dear friends, thank you so much for your prayers and support. My wife's mother shuffled off her mortal coil this morning in her sleep. Her struggles over, she rests in peace. We'll be setting off for Iowa in a day or two to attend the memorial service and make sure her father is all right. :)

Jack arrived upon the maindeck during the impromptu skeet practice, wearing ony his nightshirt and hat. As Mr. Younglblood prepared for his next target, I announced "Mister Youngblood!" in my most authoritatve voice. Youngblood, deeper in his cups than I had realized, whirled to meet my voice, his musket still shouldered. Seeing me in such dress must have doubled the shock to his inebriated brain, for as the the words "Aye, sir?" escaped his lips, so did the musketball escape it's barrel. I winced as the ball tore through my thoat, shattering my spine after it's brief stay, leaving me for perhaps the first time in my life speechless. My entire body fell numb, no longer able to stand without assistance, and I knew coudn't stay awake but a few moments longer. I tried to smile at Peetee, so he would know this was naught but an accident, and all is forgiven. The last I heard was Kendra's angelic singing, joined moments later by a joyous host...

My wife's Mother has begun to refuse to eat. She's suffering from Ahlzheiemer's, and is fading fast. Please, hold her close in your hearts. I don't know how much longer she'll hold on. ~ Jack

The soutiom is very simple - reseed every gofl course with ganja. Use a hight yeld variety that plays like normal grass. It's a 2-hit pentalty if you take more than 5 minute to find you ball in the rough. Pluse, all the other payers get a hit. Putting the ball in is a hit, a Bridie is worth two hits, and Eagle are worh three, In the case of a Hole in One, you break out the party bong, and the game's over. MUlligans mean everyonelse gets a hit. :)

Ah, the image s that brings up... :)

I can hardly wait! My wife and I are celebrating out 15th anniversary this year, and we want to renew our vows at a handfasting at the Faire. Janelle is remaking all our clothes for the occassion, and I can't wait! :)

Ah, my kingdom for a webcam! Nice job on the signature block, by the way. The only element missing is a smile. :)

Hopefully optimistic! I have a potential buyer for my gelding, Ace. I should know something in a couple weeks. Best of all, they have CASH money!

Now I know where the patterns for my next shift of clothes are coming from! Impressive! :)

I second that! :)

Vikings fire Tice after victory over Bears / Associated Press Posted: 43 minutes ago MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings fired coach Mike Tice after Sunday's victory over Chicago. Owner Zygi Wilf announced he would not renew Tice's contract in a statement less than an hour after the Vikings' 34-10 win over the Bears in the regular season finale. Tice, who finished his fourth full season with a 32-32 overall record, had already addressed the media before the move was made public. The announcement came via press release after most players had left the Metrodome. "I don't know who was more shaken by it, him or me," Tice said of what he called an emotional meeting with Wilf. The timing of the move and the means by which it was delivered stunned the few players still at the Dome. "It's the owner's decision," said quarterback Brad Johnson, as he left the stadium with his family. "It's a tough business, and I appreciate Mike and the way he treated me and the way he treated the team. I wish him greatness." Tice's tenure was mostly marked by streaks and scandals, with a $100,000 fine levied last summer against him by the league for scalping his Super Bowl tickets, and a wild boat party during the team's bye week this season that produced misdemeanor charges against four players. After starting 2-5, the Vikings won six straight before losing two in a row to fall out of contention for the playoffs. "After significant evaluation, we feel that now is the time to make a coaching change," Wilf said in the statement. The owner was gone when the statement was issued to media in the locker room and he scheduled a news conference for Monday. Pro Bowl kick returner Koren Robinson had to compose himself before commenting, managing a "Whoa, that's crazy," while he read the statement at his locker. "In the locker room? Right after a game you just won?" Robinson said. "Give the man respect enough to wait until Monday to enjoy the win, at least." Pro Bowl safety Darren Sharper crumpled up the release and threw it on the floor before declining comment and running back Mewelde Moore also tersely declined to comment. Wilf said previously that Tice's job status would be discussed at the team's headquarters on Monday, but shortly before 7 p.m. CDT, the release was issued. When asked about his mind-set after Minnesota's 34-10 victory over the Bears, Tice said the situation weighed on him as he contemplated 13 years with the organization. He progressed from a tight end in 1992 to offensive line coach to head coach. "Of course it did, I'm a human being, a man," Tice said. "I've been here since '92 ... I've poured a lot of energy into this program." ______________________________________________________ OK, so the guy sucked as a head coach. He was horrible, and needed to be fired. But he deserved better than the bum's rush after the last game. Zygi played this a bit too cuthroat in my opinion, given that he was all smiles and pats on the back with Tice during the game. I've had to dismiss people, but I always tried to do it in a way that afforded them some dignity.

For those of you in the Central time zone, we're 222 days away from the Minnesota Renaissance festival, and 186 days from the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest". I'm lobbying the Heights Theater on Central Ave. to get them to run the film.
