Joel, this must have been a week for you. Lets hope next week is better--ok little brother?

Let me say first, you did right talking to your dad. Your timing might have been off doing when he was tired & just home from a business trip. Despite what some might say, it was not being a snitch, wuss, whimp. Your dad I think might have done better by not calling Luke's dad but sure he did what he thought right. It put you in an awkward position.

Think both dads handled Wednesday evening wrong. It's a bit ironic for your dad to tell you to paddle Luke when he just got finished paddling you for just such action. It was a mistake by Luke's dad to haul him over to your house for less than a private paddling. Luke told Rick his dad wouldn't talk on the way over & drove irractic. There is apparently something wrong at their house. Maybe Luke has a little envy that you can talk with your dad. Maybe his dad is not as open for him. I figure you might agree too when I say your dad over-reacted paddling you. A good stern dad/son talk would surfice.

How did it feel hearing your dad tell you to fetch the paddle & drop sweats & drawers this time rather than you taking the initiative & asking for the paddle? I recall you were adament in December that it be private between you & dad. Was it difficult to take the paddling bare ass with Luke & his dad there? Think these 12 were more intense than even the 17 you got back in December?

You & Luke doing a second paddling on each other at the direction of your dads was not wise either. Think you guys could/ve gotten away saying NO without making it sound too disrespectful? I might have swatted Rick's butt or him swat mine but it was always in game-mode & not directed as a punishment. Our dad had no problem whipping our asses to the extent needed growing up individually or together.

Congrats on your Saint's victory in Super Bowl. We were Saints fans too & pleased with results. Speaking for myself, it was not that I followed them & rooted through the season but New Orleans had been through a lot the past few years & deserved something good to happen & uplift the commuity spirit. Guess last night was a warm up for Mardi Gras next week in New Orleans. As for collecting from Luke his lost bet, take some advice Joel & cool it & let that one go. You, Kyle, Sean & others need to give Luke some space to work through whatever it bothering him. Do me a brother-favor & back off & have others back off for awhile & let Luke have time to work out & come to you dudes.

Our folks leave next weekend for 2 weeks that includes a 10 day cruise for mom's 50th on the 24th. Rick & I will hold down the fort ok & make dad proud I know. Speaking of birthdays, I know a little bro who's in count-down to his big 18th (10 minus 1 & counting)!! Try to keep it cool for your ass this next week & save a little flesh that's still white cause I'm feeling there are buddies waiting in the wings to rosy up & warm up your little wintry birthday suit seat come the 19th.

Let me know how things are going as time allows & if I don't get back right away understand. Hope this is not too inappropriate to ask, but was wondering how things are going for your grandpa? Any warming of relations there for your birthday? Hope that works itself out too. We don't get to see or hear much from our paternal grandpa either & missed that growing up but dad doesn't want to talk details about that but know he must have some deep hurts from his younger days still not healed.
