Jeff, you there? How's things? What's been going on?

Yes, I'm here, and things are going well, thanks for asking. What's been going on? Well...quite a bit, quite a bit of nothing. Here's the skinny...

• Dillon's report card came out, all A's again. I told him to ask his Pop about the time he made an A.


• Dillon had his first basketball game of the season. He's a natural.


• COWBOYS LOSE. COWBOYS LOSE. 'nuff said


• Stomach bug of some sort floating through the family. Has taken Kylie, Dillon, and Suzanne out. I'm standing steadfast. I think that's what beer does, it boosts your immune system.


• My cousin, Gena, is in a band in LA. She's a cool rocker chick. They need votes for a contest. Don't be a dud, go vote. Here's her note about it:

Our last record "Lion The Girl" has been nominated by a local fanzine, 'LA Record' as one of the best albums released in LA in '07. If you agree, you can vote for us here- www.larecord.com and then click on- "L.A. RECORD READER POLL: 2007 LOS ANGELES ALBUMS."

She's also in a commercial. She's the one with the drumsticks. Catch it at http://target.com/onestar.

Take it easy. I'll be in Chicago startin on Saturday. Nice to pick JANUARY to visit UP NORTH. Oh well...
