Week Ending Feb. 15th, 2009

Dear Kell, I guess all of my other letters got lost in the mail...I feel you deserve an update on things that have been happening in my life over the last week. Not a whole lot is really worth mentioning, but basically, the radio on my boat shorted out last week sometime, so I had to order another one. I had some lunch with our friend Sonny, a couple of times, as well as with Ryan McRee. Boy that guy never does get old! So on Friday, it started raining and it wasn't gonna stop. We'd planned, on Thursday, to go to Destin for the weekend, so pulling out of town friday afternoon, we hoped surely for sunnier skies...that was certainly not the case, as it rained on us in Destin just about until we left on Sunday. On the way home, Anna and I stopped in at the Marble Slab...I've got a picture for the rest of that story...anywho, all is well here! I don't do Spanish so I'm not sure what that says down there, but could it be something about a new house? Your Friend, Mr. Baskin Robbin

I've failed him...but for good reason, I swear!

Dear Kell, I've failed you...I was supposed to be writing to you this whole week, but I was out of town and I didn't have Bernie Mac with me. I went to Pensacola on Tuesday to work at Wes Dannreuther's new store, Intracoastal Outfitters, and we worked like the devil trying to get some slat-board on the walls at that place. We managed to finish up with that and on Wednesday afternoon I headed on home, just in time to go to a wake in Moss Point. It was a friend of ours' dad that passed away, so I wanted to go and offer my condolences. After that, I had some dinner with my mum and wife, and then went home for a long winters nap, mainly because I was tired. Thursday night was pretty uneventful, went over to Mobile and had some BBQ at Dreamland, and woke up Friday morning to greet the weekend. Friday night, we went to ye old downtown jazz club for some drinks...then Saturday, Anna and I went on a long boat ride with some other friends, and ended up back at ye old downtown jazz club, but not before we went to Preservation Grill to tell a horrowing tale! Whatever it is, A-Rod is a great fraud of a player, and right now, as much as I love the game, MLB as got some serious soul searching to do...Your Friend, Bart Giamatti
