Xlerator Hand Dryer XL-SB

Dear Reader,

It has been too long since I have written. Hopefully you have not forgotten about us!

I thought I would give you an update on what I have been doing....

Sports, sports and more sports! My eldest son and my youngest sons have been playing basketball for the past few months. I promised all three of them that I would attend all of their games. I love to watch them play and see how excited they are when they do well. I also love how they search me out among the sea of parents faces to see if I had seen their 'awesome move' or basket.

I must admit I didn't always 'see'. Most of my time was spent in the halls or in the bathroom with Conrad. He grew particularily fond of the Xlerator Hand Dryer. He would completely fall apart with laughter every time he turned it on. It was his sport, his way of getting me to 'see' him and what he could do. I have much to learn from this little human.

Are you ready to RUUUUUUUMMMMBLE?

Dear Reader,

According to Wikipedia; 'wrestling is a form of grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. A wrestling bout is a physical competition, between two (occasionally more) competitors or sparring partners, who attempt to gain and maintain a superior position'.

I was in a wrestling match today. During church. My opponent? Mr. Conrad.

There was grappling, grappling holds, pins, joint locks and a few takedowns. I attempted to maintain a superior position but was often thrown over. Because I couldn't very well pin my son to the ground and wait for the ref to count to three, I did the only feasible thing I could do. I called time and went home.

Conrad is now in his room watching a movie, drinking chocolate milk happy as a clown and I am at my computer telling you all about it.

Thank you for reading.

If you, dear reader, have anything you want to know please ask.

Live Long and Prosper

Jacob is a boy that rides the bus to school with Conrad. From the minute he sees me walking down the driveway with Mr. Conrad he is trying to get my attention. He loves to make hand signals. Anything from the peace sign to hang loose is great with him. And he loves it when you copy him or give him a new one to try. A few weeks ago I showed him the Vlucan (from Star Trek-are you impressed that I know this?!), 'live long and prosper' sign the other day. He loved it. He couldn't do it back but was intent on trying. He is still working on it.
On Friday he put his hand up to the window in a goodbye gesture. I touched the window and said goodbye.
As I stepped away from the window I saw one more hand waiting to say goodbye. It was Connie. He was looking and waiting for my hand to touch the glass of the window. As I touched the glass he smiled as if to say, "I can do it too, just thought you should know".
I know. Thank you.
