Where I go, for the inspiration...

This morning, I had an opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with Kell Zubic:

Chip

8:03am

Chip

ha ha ha! yeah, i can't tell you the number of times I've looked at our guest bedroom and thought "...green...nah, that blue looks nice, wait, maroon! no, anna'd be mad...blue's fine, really, it's fine..."

8:05am

Kell

i made a standard grocery list with our everyday staples sorted by pantry, freezer, and fridge. even had a write in section for the occasional oddities. then had it laminated so that you can check the box when it needs to be replaced.

8:06am

Chip

Kell

8:10am

Chip

The Shoulder Bone's connected to the...

Dear Kell, Hope things are going well! From the looks of it, you're on a boat with steel toes, a hard hat, and brass balls...this is just what i gather, but nonetheless that must be nice! I've had a good week overall. I've managed to tear a sheath on a tendon in my right shoulder, you know, the one I punch people with, and so I've been having to nurse it for the last two weeks or so. It's starting to feel better, but now my non-punching shoulder is hurting and i reckon that is from having to over-compensate...I guess there comes a time when we all have to do that...anywho, I'm looking forward to St. Patrick's Day, and all of the festivities planned to go along with it...the green poo and all. Hope you and Fiona have a good weekend! Your Friend, David Hodo (figure that one out)

Letter explaining my absence of absinthe...

Dear Kell, I'm sorry I've not written to you since the 18th. I've actually been drunk these last two weeks. I hope all has been well. I'd have really liked to have gotten a picture with you while you and Fiona were on the gulf coast, but I'm afraid I'd left my camera at the zoo. I intend on continuing the letters, but times have been rough the last few weeks. We found out that our grass has weeds, and that the privacy fence, intended to keep our privacy, has been in fact, telling all of our secrets to the neighbors...I'm afraid the only thing that's been able to shake my soul has been the whiskey...things are better now...things will continue as planned. Your Friend, John Daniels
