Email to Howard & Nancy

Good to hear that you had a nice weekend. I went back to Nebraska on Sat. early morning. Had the Mendyk annual gathering in Loup City that I haven't been to in at lest 2 years, maybe three (hard to remember). Was an ok time. Loved to see everyone but it was so darn hot!!!! 98 on Sat. and 99 on Sun. Boy, I thought it was hot here before going back there and I got taught a lesson in comparisons. Not only was it hot, but the wind blew morning, noon, and night! Good gracious, it was like 15-20 mph with gusts of 30 all weekend.
I drove back yesterday with a chest of drawers and an old fashioned (1 leaf) table with fold down sides in tow. It also came with 4 chairs..... All folded down and without the leaf in, the table takes up less room than my table I have had since moving to CO (which Mom & Dad got for me when a roller rink went out of business in GI). Gonna try and sell that thing at a friend at work's garage sale this weekend.
Think Mom & Dad are coming out sometime in June. Will have to see how things go but if they do come out, will have to let you know for sure and maybe we can drop by some evening. As long as you are around and aren't busy of course.
Huskers are in the NCCA baseball tourney as the #6 seed and are hosting a regional in Lincoln following a Big XII finals loss to Kansas this past weekend. Hope they make it to Omaha again and go farther than the past years. Just getting there isn't good enough any more. Got to cheer for them even harder since the football team isn't in the national title hunt recently. I have high hopes for them this year though after the finish they had last season.
Well, I had better go.
E U Later,
Randy

Husker Baseball


Currently listening to the Huskers in the first game of the Big XII tourney. They are currently tied with Baylor 1-1 mid way through the game. Pretty good pitching from both teams so far. NU needs to get them bats working or it will be a very sad season for the boys in red.


If you think it is warm where you are currently, it might be worse if you were at the tourney. At 9:30 am (Mountain Time Zone) it was 87 degrees and humid according to the announcers. Whew, that doesn't sound comfy at all.

Speaking of not being comfy, saw on the news last night that CO will have a warmer than usual summer this year as well as a drought year in the metro area. I guess the only good news for me is that I have central air installed and I won't have to mow much either.

Big Red Truck!


If you know me, then you know why I had to buy this truck.

A long , long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....


Here is probably my favorite picture ever, until I get married to Jennifer Connely and get some snaps with her.

Is there anything greater than Mountain Dew? It's rhetorical you dugh mass!
