Hey Little Dude, just saw I had another message I overlooked but then with Mollie getting here as she did last night...well you know, priorities!!!! She fixed Rick & I a homecooked breakfast to wake up our tired butts this morning & then off with some friends to do wedding shopping--girl style.

>like I said I tried to outsmart Kyle and be my own man

That's my little bro talking. Glad you saw the light & got out of that depressed/surrender mode--nothing I can do.

>hope you didn't go NUTS thinking I was nursing a sore
>butt and felling sorry for myself and noboy didn'e
>care about me, as I see from your messages

Naw, maybe a little crazy but not 'nuts' since there were no squirrels grabbing at me to store me away--like that analogy?

>Hey, so I don't get one, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU &
>MOLLIE on setting the date of July 9 for your wedding.
>That is really cool and thanks for letting me be one
>of the first that you and Mollie wantted to know.
>Also, CONGRATULATIONS in advance, you mentioned about
>a "special bundle" arriving around Christmas. I know
>you and Mollie will be GREAT parents!

Thanks bro for the words of confidence. We'll do our best. If we are half as good as our two sets of parents, I know the kid will come out ok. It's scary more and more trying to raise kids in today's environment. Like Rick was saying about the bullying, drugs, alcohol, suicide, etc, it is hard for kids more now than I realized 8-10 years ago for me. Realize more now how important having parents who listen when you talk with them.

>Yeah, Kyle got his own anniversary April 2 to
>remember, next year, when he got his Jock Ass whipped
>by his little brother, ME in my grandpa's barn with
>Sean's belt!

Ya'll, sounds like even you Joel are in parent training & fast learner for a guy who grew up not hearing 'get'em down & bend over'. How'd you feel watching Kyle peelin down britches & you laying leather on his ass? Were you, Cody & Sean that itching for a butt whipping agreeing to Kyle laying stripes on your rears too?

>That is COOL that you and Rick had a great Easter with
>both sets of grandparents, especially Nanny & Gramps!
>Looks like your dad is forgiving of things from the
>past that happened to him? Did your grandpa "talk"
>about times he spanked/paddled/razor strapped your dad
>growing up in the garage at their house, etc. that you
>might share with me?

Yep, cool just them being here & yes we talked. Think gramps realized he might have gone hard as a disciplinarian with his boys but then that was the late 60s and 70s & teens then were emerging from a social change period & all gramps knew I guess was his methods. I'm glad, though probably there were times dad thought I might need a strapping, that he never hauled my bare ass out to the garage. Guess you know Joel, as unfair & uncalled for as it was, the walk, the words & jeans coming down & waiting for strap leather from your experience. Well, hopefully doors of communication opened & we have a closer family bond now.

>Will all grandparents be back for the wedding July?

That is definately our plans.

>That is COOL Rick continues to help out for Jeanne's
>Mom sake for the move, hope she is all settled in,
>etc.? I know how much Rick cares for Jeanne, and I
>shouldn't ask and its none of my business, and If I
>was to ask I should ask Rick, but do you think Rick
>and Jeanne might sometime soon get married?

Good question little bro. It's possible & no problem with you asking or needing an ass chewing. Mollie & I would've done a longer engagement but with the December news, we've now decided on July. At 24, I ask myself if I'm old enough. Sound stupid dude? Mollie will make a good wife & mom I know & so just gotta make sure about myself & let her know to kick my ass if I get off track. As for Rick & Jeanne, they'd make a wonderful couple in my book but that's their decision as to future.

At 18 dude, you just stay smart to get an education & future for yourself before you & Holly or that other girl at the resort you talked about do anything you'd later regret. Don't let anyone unwrap your family package until you know its the right time to accept the title 'dad'. Just a little brotherly advice for what its worth.

Best to you & team as you open the baseball season.
