Damn, Jim. This just popped into my head, and I thought about you.

I remembered you calling me on Thanksgiving, a couple, maybe three years ago. I think that I was at some podunk diner bringing a truck driver home after dropping his semi off at a repair shop in Ft. Recovery, Ohio.

I was surprised, nobody ever calls me on holidays. It meant a lot to me hearing from a friend.

My passenger got his wife a couple of overly expensive pies from the little diner in the middle of nowhere. I got him home safely and went home.

I've been so many places, it might've been a couple of other guys. Who knows?

Whatever, my mind is a funny, if not tragic place.

Thanks.

That's a great tune. Great message with a great twist at the end.

I really enjoyed your videos last night. Have any more like those?

Probably, but I've gotta be a special kind of depressed to get in the mood to post music videos.

Day ain't over, and I haven't looked at the news much yet.

I went home with a waitress, the way I always do...

How was I to know, she was with the Russians too?

I guess my older sister is pretty banged up. Broken pelvis, head split open, etc. Don't know much more.

Dad, get me out of this.

Going to start praying right now.

I am sooo sorry. It happens so fast. People just don't realize... My "baby" who was in the van when we had our accident many years, was t-boned again 4 years ago. Pelvis broken in 4 places, brain bleed, broken ribs, collapsed lung. It was grueling but she survived, still with pain. But she was young. I truly hope and pray God will be gracious with your sister.

Q: Why should you NEVER wake up WITHOUT a hangover?

A: Because if you wake up without one, that's the best you'll feel all day.

How many stars can you name?
