One more thing. I don't know if I mentioned anywhere that I've been writing to an inmate for a couple years. We gave gotten to be friends and yesterday I made the drive out to AZ to visit him. It was a really amazing experience. I don't know that I've met anyone who reminded me of myself as much. We made many of the same decisions with our lifes and did many of the same things. He just got caught. It could have so easily been me on his side of the table and him mine. We talked for 3 hours before the time ran out. I messed up and didn't bring exact change for a charge card thing that would have let me buy food and drinks in the visitation area... so my buddy shared his lunch with me. I gotta say, prison food isn't much good... but A LOT better than I expected. Funny too... I'm pretty sure there was grape juice/ drink mixed in with the bbq beans.
Oh, and the bear came back last night. It had been here a few times this summer. It actually broke into our cat house and messed things up a bit. Poor cats have to be shut up in there now so the bear doesn't come through the window. I made lots of ventilation though... they aren't roasting in there. we also took in another cat. Not our desire, but little dude has become so friendly that he walks into peoples houses. And the lady accross the street is really allergic and I don't trust her to not call animal control.
I think that's it now. Wait. Still not pregnant. Starting Artificial Insemination soon. And so you guys know what that is (as if you care) basically I do my thing in a cup, then the docs go in and select all the best swimmers, and get them ready to shoot into my lady. And my lady will have something done a couple days before where they make sure her eggs are moving to position, or whatever. So basically it's like super charged sex or something (without any physical contact and lots of docs around). We'll try this maybe 3 times and if that don't work we're pulling the plug and going to adopt a kid. We are both convinced anyhow that the day we get our adopted kid home we'll find out we're pregnant with twins.
I really wonder if in 2 years we'll be sitting in a house full of kids thinking "what the hell were we thinking" hahaha. Nah, it'll be great. Being a dad is the only thing I've wanted to do since I was a kid. That and be a husband, but that one I got going on already.
peace crew. Love you guys.
