Yeehaw!
Sorry, had to get that out of my system. I'm back from a week spent working in Arkansas and relaxing at my Dad's in southern Missouri. I passed my license test, after receiving my study materials Monday afternoon, while finishing packing and getting stuff ready for my trip. I worked 14 hours on Tuesday and had my test mid-morning on Wednesday in Little Rock. Needless to say, I felt ill-prepared to take it but managed to barely pass it and now am the only investigator with my company licensed in Arkansas. I did receive a small raise, with a chance at another raise in December and have been assured my company is not marketing in Arkansas so I will not have to travel as much as the last few AR licensed guys did(we'll see).
I got a chance to hang out with my little brother and his family on Saturday night. In the short time I was there, I managed to help teach my nephew how to hit someone on the head and then watch the newly one-year old apply his new found knowledge to beat on his grandpa's head. I had not seen him since June or July and he is getting very big. He is off the charts for his age group in height, and in something like the 80th percentile in weight. And, he is starting to say words, although, when he hits someone, he just says, "Baaa. Baaa."(I love being able to corrupt them and then leave. Heheh.) I think I scored with the birthday gift I got him. It is loud and plays music and should teach him his ABC's at some point, but, for now I will settle with letting it annoy his parents. The little one played with it for a long while after he opened it. The kid is still as smiley as ever and seems to rarely cry. I can't wait to see him again. I hope to be able to post a few pics of the kid, but, haven't talked to my brother about putting them up here, and won't post them without permission.
Sorry about the lapse between posts. I should be home a bit this week and will definitely have some material to post on at the end of the week, what, with hockey season opening and having tickets to the home opener.

Welcome back, hon. You were missed a lot by Mossy and I. Lots and lots and lots. Is Steph coming back too?
I thought you were lost in the Ozarks... Those ARE the Ozarks in Arkansas, right?
Sounds like you had a fun trip. I love "settle with letting it annoy his parents" part of the gift, lol!
Glad to hear you're still alive and kickin'. Or hitting, as the case may be. :o)
Welcome back, man. Good news on the text, but remember that no good deed goes unpunished. You might find yourself running from potential mothers-in-law in your new Arkansas territory. ;-)
WOW GLAD YOUR BACK>> Larry Withdrawls!!
I am orginally from Arkansas, Its the most laid back relaxing place on this earth, when i go back home to visit the "folks" all i do is sleep!!
Its awesome to see little ones in your family get bigger,, the ones who are around them every day don't notice like you would, even a few months can be drastic growth spirts!!
Contgrats on the TEST!!!
Larry, your new picture scares me. It's like a giant chocolate bar with big nasty teeth coming to eat me...and not in the good way.
Like Revenge of the Hershey Bar or something.
*whimper*
Those tix should be MINE! MINE, I SAY!!!
J/k, hope you boys have fun at the game, but you better behave. :P
Fucker....I hope you get flat, weak beer at your game tonight.
Oh, wait...you''re already in the US. ;-)

Dont worry P-shag, I just put that up because that is me at the beginning of every hockey season, but, especially this one. it will be replaced soon
I personally think it looks like a turd doing the Charleston. It cracks me up. (At least, I think the dance is called the Charleston - I could very well be wrong...)
