Rhinestone--I Mean RADIOACTIVE--Cowboy

The cowboy is still a-glowin' in the dark from all that radioactive je ne sais quoi they shot into his lil ole cowboy arm last time we went to Wake Forest.

Thought you'd like to see the above snapshot of him, so you can see what I mean.

It's great! We are saving tons of money by not having to use lights at night, and being able to roast weenies on sticks if we get close enough to him.

Everyone is cheered up around here and grateful as the dickens for the many SWEET and uplifting electronic hugs and love we got through your words and emails and thoughts and prayers for us. That was amazing.

For now, Bill feels really great, except for getting severely out of breath, and having a constant sore throat, but Dr. Torti said all of those are normal, and that it can take most of a YEAR to fully recover from the type of surgery he had.

He's even gaining back some weight, and tragically, so am I. My size zero clothes are in storage for now. :) We ain't talkin' zero THESE days...but we're both thinking of ways to exercise more. If we get the okay on Thursday, Bill is going to start going to the driving range and dropping me off at the weight lifting center, five days a week.

This is so completely out of context that I'm ashamed to bust up the unity here, but to me, it's one of the funniest things I've heard in so long: Did you know--and this has been confirmed!--that for the World Cup Soccer games, when North Korea played, their bizarrely mentally ill leader Kim Jong Il wouldn't let real North Koreans sit in the stands, but hired Chinese ACTORS to sit in the stands and cheer and pretend like they were North Koreans? The trouble was, they dressed the actors all exactly alike, and they looked so strange that the media got suspicious and researched it. (For those of you who don't follow North Korea's hilariously insane leader's antics, the reason he wouldn't let real North Koreans into the stands is because he doesn't allow North Koreans to leave the country, lest they find out that he isn't a god--LITERALLY a god--and that the rest of the world has enough to eat. I am not making this up. He's worth following, if you need cheering up. Unless you're North Korean. Then, not so much.)
