Easter Greetings, all. I hope this holiday Sunday finds you all happy and relatively comfortable. I am having a pretty good day, personally. Actually, all of my days have been pretty good as of late… you know, everything being relative and all.
Why is everything so peachy for me? Well, for one thing, I am now able to talk to my family every day, and for me, that’s a very good thing. The other day my darling wife sent me my wedding band in the hope that I had lost enough weight at Ft. Sill to be able to put it on. Well, friends, on my finger it now resides and forever there it shall remain. For just under four years it’s been staying put, quietly passing the time in drawers or on a hook near my workstation and whenever I would run cross it, it would always feel as though a piece of my soul were detached. Four freakin’ years! Never again, lol.
On a more materialistic level, I got my hands on this zippy new laptop and broadband card! Also, I’m not getting yelled on every dern day for other people’s mistakes. That’s a big win for me. Also-also, I was able to spend a bit of time with my darling wife, in the flesh, so to speak. It was awesome, definitely the high point of the year.
I don’t know how much longer all this relative freedom and happiness will last (it’ll probably end rather abruptly this Friday and go back to the way it was for a few weeks) but while it lasts I’m a-gonna take advantage of it. Phone calls, e-mails, letters, comics, books (Thx Ev and J) and movies are in my future, you know, along with push-ups, boots and classes.
Thank you to everyone who wrote and sent happy thoughts to me while I was in that awful place (Oklahoma was and is pretty sucky)as I honestly believe it was your support more than anything internal to me that got me through it. Thank you thank you thank you.

Yay!!! It's so good to see your post! It's awful being incommunicado, isn't it? I'm so impressed with how well you're doing and how well you're handling everything. Not surprised, just impressed. We all miss you a bunch.
Btw, the last sentence of your third paragraph apparently totally appealed to the perv in me and dumbfounded the logic in me. lol When you were talking about how you were now electronically connected and "movies are in my future, you know, along with push-ups, boots and classes" meant something entirely different. I kept thinking, classes? classes? You must mean glasses. Huh. yeah, that would be hot. Wrong movies, wrong push-ups and I'm guessing you weren't thinking thigh-highs with the boots, eh? rofl
I blame it on the picture.
It's so good to hear from you again
sorry about the no letters from me I'm realy not much of a writer but i am glad to hear that chrissy and you where able to spend some time together cant wait to see you all slim and trim and if our wondering where the wheight went i think i ended up with it well good luck and everything
As I said on the phone, among lots of other things, I'm very happy for you re: your ring. I know how important that weight loss milestone was for you.
And since you hardly ever get to write. . .we miss hearing from you
Brother Dear,
I too am really glad for the weight loss. I was very worried for your health. I would like for you to be around for a very long time to come. Who else would I have to pick on me, keep my feet firmly planted on the ground and chase away all appropriate and eligible men?
Let me know if you need anything. I will also try to write you a regular e-mail and let you know of the antics your wife and I are having planting your garden!
I am truly amazed the two of you were able to create my nephews given how much trouble planting veggie seeds has been! >=D
Sis
I have tagged you for a lame-ass meme. My apologies.
