family.

Patrick and I went and got our haircuts last night. We have an "old style" barber here in Independence and they do a great job but it takes so long. This is only the second time we've went to him. They trim up with a straight razor. So that's done for awhile.

I finally got the truck and expedition unloaded from last weekend now that my back is feeling better. I'm about 99% and not in pain anymore (just a tightness).

Bought Patrick some new shoes as his old shoes had holes in them. He's up to size 11 in boys. I think he will end up being pretty tall or at least taller than me. I'm trying to make it to 7' but I can't seem to get past 5'8". I've been stuck at that height for quite awhile now. How come I can't get stuck at 152 pounds of weight regardless of what I eat?

Tonight is our date night and I am looking forward to that. Going to be a great time. I'm hoping TomTom helps out on the trip down there. It's on Peoria which is a major road and should be easy to find but it'll be our first trip with TomTom (other than to Diamond and back).

No updates on Grandma. This whole business with Grandma has got me planning my funeral. You can't be too careful. Here's my plans so far. I will be buried wearing this hat of course. All the guests will have to dress up as their favorite fish and each will be required to do a short interpretive dance about me. Afterwards will be cake and punch. That's my plans so far. I'm not sure if I'm kidding or not. I think that would be an awesome funeral. I want to go out with a laugh.
