He’s Home!
Friday, May 21st, 2004
We finally have Jim back home, if only for a few days. He begins his summer job fighting fires for the Bureau of Land Management next Monday. Jim was planning to come home a few days ago, but had some “circumstances”. The first was a plea from brother Johnny and friend Robby to stay for another day. The boys floated the Boise River in Johnny’s raft again (something I would LOVE to do, noone will take me :( ) Jim said they were floating near some low hanging branches, so Johnny and Robby ducked to avoid them. Jim decided he would just lift the branches over their heads. The next thing he remembers is tumbling over backwards into the river. A soaking wet Robby attempted to help him back into the raft, while a near-dry Johnny lamented “My hat got wet.”
Today Jim had the misfortune to lose his car keys. Another fun adventure! He never did find them, but our insurance handled the expense of making a key for him, so he finally got here about 9:45 P.M., and, of course, had not had any dinner. Fortunately, UltraMom, being the UltraMom she is, had some grub ready for him.
So, I gotta get to bed so I can work for 9 hours tomorrow while Jim and UltraDad probably do something fun. Poor me.
Okay, probably enough feeling sorry for myself for one night, though I’m really not. Right now the world looks pretty good.
Night All
