wild western adventures

just got back from utah a few days ago, we had a great time and got to visit with family i hadn't seen for several years and one niece i had never met. wyoming is windy. it's lots of fun to sit around and listen to old childhood stories. it's also fun to tell a few especially when they are on your brothers and their children have never heard them. the stories about playing poopy-man on granny's farm were quite popular. this is when my cousin would take a stick and put it down in the out house and get crap on the end of it and chase you trying to wipe the poop on you. this seemed weird to some folks, but the thing you got to understand is, when your cousin has a stick with doodie on the end of it coming at you there are no options, you are now playing poopy-man. your only hope is to try and out run one of your other cousins. screaming does not help, it just waste precious oxygen you could be using to run faster. i don't care what you say, even the geekiest of the geeks can't put that kind of excitement into a video game. trust me kids, reality just don't happen in front of a screen. remember you heard that here first.



keep it green, your great grandchildren have to live somewhere, it might as well be earth

Had me confused with "niece I never met before"? thought I was really missing somebody but I figured it out, I think. Would that be Neice in-law?
