I stand corrected

Karen has brought it to my attention that I have traveled farther than to Kentucky to see a concert.
Last year, I went to see Karen, John and James while Alice in Chains were in town. Karen was nice enough to go see the show with me and then stand in the rain for 2 hours while the band drove past us while I was trying to get my Alice poster signed. We did get to see a firework show put on by the band which lasted 2.5 minutes (Chesterton style).

Also, it is safe for anyone to come by and visit. There is little work that needs to be done with the house. There is only one room to be painted and I can handle that. The only other work is going to be yard work and possibly the removal of a playhouse. Not sure what is going to happen to that. Also debating if I should extend the porch on the back, but that could be saved for some other summer. I know Neil knows how to hold a screwdriver, so he could always help.

I met one of my neighbors today. I have seen him a couple of times, but either the weather was bad or I was on my way somewhere and did not have time to stop. He told me that his wife is looking to buy a new house but she has not told him when they are moving. Also, the family across the street both work in Chicago and are considering moving closer to Chicago. So, I guess I am destroying the neighborhood.

Sorry for the card, Karen. After I sent it, I thought I should have chosen something else. Especially since it was South Park related.

The card was fine; I shouldn't have said anything. We just didn't know to open it when James was asleep or otherwise occupied.

John speaking now: Don't feel bad. The content of the card is not a problem at all. I opened it with James, and we both laughed at it. He didn't hear anything or repeat anything. We thought it was funny, and he didn't even understand it. He just heard "smack" and got the giggles. Being three is cool.
