I'm so glad that day 1 went well! I hope forging the river wasn't too hard today. Hopefully all of your Oregon Trail training prepared you for this moment ;) Charlie has been saying "Daddy…desuuurt…Chiwee." We both miss you very much, but so very proud of you. We can't wait to hear about all of Daddy's adventures. Love you, love you, love you!!!

Felt kinda like a last meal I suppose, if you were soon to be scooted off to THE chair after that random act of passion that left you in the tangles of prison clinging to the last savory moments of life... I'll certainly remember that shower. Twas a good one. Refreshing. Warm, but not to hot. Just a tinge of herbaceous musk in the air. I will say I lingered a bit longer than I should have, but don't tell anyone. Of course, it wasn't like the showers back in '04 though, now those... they were showers! Droplets of water that rained down the metallic wormhole from heaven, shooting it's glorious moisture upon my shoulders feeling the weight of the world swirl away in a sudsy tide-pool to the river of dreams... Takes me back to a simpler time, where showers were just showers and nothing more.... Also, I high-fived goodbye to my wife and baby. SEE YOU ALL SOON!!!!!!! AtaCOMA-indused, Billy
