SOMETHING I DIDN'T POST IN 2010
This little guy was hanging out in my draft folder. Since this was written, we've sold the truck, moved out of state, found out Mason has Chron's, I got a new job and my family came back to Columbia. But the more things change, the more they stay the same . . . case in point:

---------------------------

You know what's cool? I can write anything, ANYTHING, in this blog, and Monte will never read it because it's too "wordy." It's awesome really. I can say whatever I want, reveal embarrassing facts, make pointed remarks, because there's no payback. Ever. It's a blank check.

Dang it. The handicap is that I love him. Rats.

P.S. Monte's aversion to reading is topped only by his aversion to listening to long winded explanations. If you want him to pay attention to you, say it in three words or less. Preferably less. I left him a long message on the phone the other day, explaining how I'd hit a trash can outside Starbucks, and got a scratch down the side of his truck, and how I wanted to take the truck to the body shop and get it fixed right away, and how I was so sorry, and the truck is so big and hard to drive and I would some how make it up that I had ruined the truck, and that I had already talked to the guy at Machens Ford Auto Body and how I was so so so sorry. I was on the verge of tears during the three and a half minute message. His reply? He didn't listen to it all, because it got kind of long winded, but it was something about the truck, right?

Seriously.
