Back Joel, sorry about interrupt but as we say in business, the customer is #1 & I had to take the call & then go resolve a matter with a client. Dad takes call most weekends but Dave & I think it fair that we take a few weekends on-call too--it is now a family business.

Thinking of business, I remember you & Kyle took a summer job last year through your coach working with younger guys in sports. Do you dudes work any after school or weekend jobs to cover car or date expenses or mom/dad keep a little jingle in your pockets for you? We got allowances growing up but then kinda on our own we thought about jobs, like paperboy in our neighboring area when I turned 12 & delivered on my bike. Dave helped & then later on, we expanded & covered 2 routes. As we got older, we found other opts for pocket cash. Guess with school & sports you stay busy enough. Folks give you chores around the house growing up to earn allowance or teach responsibility? Know you didn't get your butt busted Joel, but ever skip doing chores & get grounded or lose allowance?

Damn proud of your BB victories this week. After mediocre season, sure making a grand finale. How is mid-semester tests & grades going? Sorry to hear about Sean this week. Said he deserved what he got but still must bust an ego at 18 to put your ass over the desk & get the seat of your jeans dusted with the paddle. At least you've avoided that your senior year Joel. Great that you, Kyle & teammates walked him to the office. Nothing like good buds to be there backing you up in a bad situation. Glad to hear your dad has continued the reprieve on your ass for being mouthy. May have saved your little ass by saying you were sorry & hitting big times on the BB court-proud of that too little bro.

Well, maybe next week will be lighter at office but being spring & weather getting nicer, people seem out more & doing business. Can't complain because we want the business to profit & grow--its a future & security!! The following week is of course Holy Week which is big time around here too for many of the churches & people. There will be a live re-enactment of the Passion story that I',m sure the folks as well as Dave, Mollie, Jeanne & I will probably attend. Our office was a sponsor so expected to go I think, but then its real good & a cool event too.

Mom's folks will visit over Easter so we'll have grandparents here for like dinner & family reunion again. That is always cool. Looking forward to seeking some cruise pictures they took along with what mom/dad took. I'm not sure it will come off but mom wants dad's parents to come too for visit & Easter. Dad loves his folks but they have not been too close since he grew up & moved on his own. We don't see or hear much from threm but would be cool if they came & we could catch up on grandparent time. A little old now to say we want to be 'spoiled' but missed out a lot of that from dad's mom/dad growing up. I'd even accept the terms your grandparents said "spoiled brat' about you to see Nanny & Gramps (what we called them as kids) again. Well, we'll see if mom pulls it off.

Better cut if off now so this does not get too long. Hang tight little bro & understand if I'm not always quick to get back with you. I'll read messages but may have to put on hold reply until time is better.
