I've had a few ramp running sessions in my time.

(MD) That’s always a classic. Actually, I think he might have fallen asleep for a minute on the drive home; forgot about that.

Now at least I can give Boy his DS (on silent of course) and enjoy the show! See, happier days are ahead!

(MD) It’s okay, it’s part of life. Fortunately he’s the oldest, so if you’re at the performance, it won’t be him causing trouble. Watch out for younger sisters and brothers.

Reminds me of the functions I attended at Charles Peck school and when a certain small boy turned all the knobs off the ovens when they had been set to preheat for the next day. OOOPS! Such curious, busy little bees those boys are. Then there were the trips to the yardage stores but my mind can only handle a few of those items. Sorry, you are being paid back so vigorously, my dear son!! Love, Grandma B <FONT COLOR=#D0D0FF><I>(MD) I know, I know... and it's not over. I have a melted rug and holes in the walls to look forward to.<i></FONT> Poor DAd, what is to become of the little rascal?

A really big high school, no doubt, has a really big Christmas program. Maybe a suggestion to the administration to open up the gym and have the football team provide activities for young, busy roughnecks like Michael would be welcome. <FONT COLOR=#D0D0FF><i>(MD) That's a great idea!
