Wow, Slick! <pats couch next to me> Here sit down and relax for a minute. The fire's going good and everything's cleaner than it's been in weeks, so why not join us and enjoy the fire. Sheesh, I had no idea you had to actually cutthe wood, why didn't you say something, I would've helped. I'm an expert at wood cutting. I think I've mentioned this before, but cutting down trees and chopping wood is what my dad does for fun, so I grew up cutting wood. We each even had our own appropriately sized axes! (picture a 7 year old, a 10 year old and a 12 year old with an ax - 2 brothers and one sister[me] and you've got the right picture in your head - amazing all three of us are still around to tell these stories.)

I just smooched Peanut for you, she's being a good little tutor again. I think she likes the heat from the lamp. Tubby's snoring away in his little bed. I'll give him a smooch too when I get up.

Mario, can you please put another quarter in the juke box please? I think the Tim McGraw songs have run out, what else is on that juke box?
