I beat Dave at pool. All by myself. No cheating. No special handicap. It took me 6 years to do this. I beat Dave at pool. Tonight I aim to do it again.

Today my brother and I were standing on the back porch of our house. There was a bunch of snow on the detached garage’s roof. We both took turns knocking the snow off by throwing old metal folding chairs at the roof. It didn’t work. Then Chuck had to climb onto the snowy roof, and retrieve one of the folded folding chairs that got stuck up there. (We threw them folded and unfolded to cover all our bases). Chuck almost fell off the roof many times, but he took my advice (“Stay low”) and made it back to the porch safely. I was so scared for him. So scared.

Also, before the chair incident we went under a big tree in the back with the intentions of shaking it, and making all the snow come down. This did not work because the tree was too big to shake. But Chuck did try to “buck” it like a bull. Chuck is so brave.

I’m awed.

The Beerbelly.

Kent just came into the office and said, ‘Hey, look at my thumb, I didn’t realize I cut it.”

It never ends.

Yes, it’s all true. I slipped and fell down the backsteps doing the laundry and broke my tailbone. In two places. I’ll try and get the x-ray and post it.

I am sitting on a little inflatable donut filled with ice.

It hurts, but I am a soldier. The Glass Bus will roll again. My tennis season may be over, but the Mardi Gras flag football game is coming up and you can bet I will be 100%.

Postponed it last week as I felt rough.

I am now certified in analyzing solution requirements and defining Microsoft .NET solution architectures!

The weak link in the vaunted elbuzzard tennis tandem, Kent  was placed Tuesday on the inactive list after X-rays revealed a “separation of the sacrum or tail bone.” He will spend the next couple of weeks sitting in an innertube filled with ice.
The often-injured former running back suffered the fracture after falling down the back stairs, only a week after his wife Leslie had managed to pull the same stunt. Leslie is at 80%.
Kent, nicknamed the “Glass Bus,” after breaking his ribs playing flag football, has denied rumors of retirement. He turned 30 in September.
“I’ve shattered my ass plenty of times,” said tennis chum Paul. “It hurts, but you’ve got to keep pounding away. He’ll be back.”
