Hi all,<\/p>\n
Thought since we were moving into a different lifestyle mode, I’d try to get
back to follow my Father’s example and try a weekly letter. Should be able
to keep it up for at least a couple weeks \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
For those of you I haven’t talked to or have not heard via the network,
Laurie and I have separated. Laurie moved into an apartment in town last
weekend and we are both doing well and are still good buddies. If you want
more details, feel free to call or email.<\/p>\n
We went to Jessica’s (Zack’s girlfriend) graduation party today. Her father
had all her basketball trophies and medals proudly displayed. I didn’t know
she was such the basketball star. She is planning on going to the local
community college next year.<\/p>\n
Yesterday Zack and Jessica and her brothers went out shooting shotguns.
They had a good time and Zach won many of the contests they had, but
Jessica’s little rat terrier dog ran off and got lost. They looked for her
for 6 hours but no luck. She kept up her spirits throughout the day and her
party, but still no dog. Zack was just 5 seconds away from spending $20 to
print out 100 color copies of a ‘lost dog’ poster when her mom called to say
the dog was found, 10 miles from her father’s farm in the country, heading
the wrong way.<\/p>\n
Nick and I went to a movie yesterday and rented a few more movies. This is
how Nick gets his driving practice in. He drives o\/from the movie theater
and\/or Hollywood video. Cheaper than drivers education \ud83d\ude42 Today he helped
me saw off a few branches from some trees in our yard. Our front yard river
birch has died so I figured I’d collect a few more
branches for the dead tree guys to collect.<\/p>\n
Laurie is off at the national poetry convetion in Sioux Falls this weekend.
She really likes her apartment, but needs to get a bed. Currently is on a
blow up mattress. Not too comfortable, but better than sleeping on our
massage table.<\/p>\n
Nick has one more final tomorrow then he is done with school. Zack has been
done for a week. We have not seen his grades yet. If he gets good grades,
he gets white (fancy sport) car driving privileges. If not, he gets the
van. He is always the first one out to the mail box \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Nick built a water bottle rocket for Physics. He glued a spring loaded
plastic chess pawn onto the nose cone, but the spring didn’t help the pawn
much when it landed. Flys straight for 100+ meters, only veering off by a
few meters.<\/p>\n
Last weekend Zack had a bunch of his buddies over for a grill out on our
deck. While Zack was grilling, the others started up a couple of chess
games. Those that didn’t know chess got taught. Nothing beats a good
chess game with and burgers \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
