We are leaving a couple of hours to go visit so I'll see you and Aunt Betty very soon.
I was thinking about you and how you fit into the family. It occured to me that although I never met your brother, I imagine he was much like you; affable, caring, a huge heart, and someone that stood out for his overtly loving character. Even today, more than four decades after he passed, the family still talks about good ol' Johnny. My mom still cries every now and then about him, I know. She wishes she could have had her dad around to teach her to drive, guide her through womanhood, and give her away when she married dad.

Congratulations; now you know, but the rest of us already knew. Fortunately, youre an idiot that at least knows how to milk a bull. With a little training, you graduate to the female cows and start making real milk. You have one cow, and shes a gusher. You dont need that much milk, but what you do need is porn. But before porn what you really need is a house. Sucks to be you because you couldnt even play with Lincoln Logs without getting cited by Building and Safety. BUT, you Got Milk.
