Mom,
The least of my problems now is girls. That’s one of the things I don’t have to worry about. One thing I don’t do is worry. It doesn’t pay…

Hi Mom,
…Two men from my company drowned, they got stuck in the mud and couldn’t get out because of all the equipment they had on. What a way to go….Tell Dad I’m pretty proud of him. I’ll always be grateful for the help he used to give me when I was small and just learning to play ball...
for now, your devoted son
