The big shocker this morning was that the renter's check bounced. Man that is about the fourth time that has happened. Boy, I wish they would get things together. That is really disconcerting. I hope to get the shirts today and I will be getting ready for the trip to GP. I hope and pray that I say the right things this weekend. I hope I stumble on some way to get the car back from Portland.

I got the tee shirts and they look a little big. I hope they are okay. The last time I got tee shirts they were too tight and I don't think he wears it that much. Joel called and said that he had written me a letter and a piece he wanted read at the party on Saturday. I will try to have a few more business cards so that people can read his blog and write to him maybe.

I have lined up the motels and will make the trip tomorrow. I talked to Annie tonight and they still do not have the ashes. This has been a real head ache and messed up. I heard from Joel but his letter was not in the mail. The renter called and was all apologetic about the damned check and wrote me another one. I think I am going to ask for cash from now on. I talked to Mikey and he sounded excited. He was wearing his Haloween costume and had spent some of his McDonald money. He may have a harder time this weekend. I hope not.
