Cheers!

For the third time...

Dude, considering that this was your idea, you are waaaay behind the curve.

Good morning sunshine! Nice to see you woke up to join the party. We've been looking for you.

I'm in.

My momma always told me the truth will hurts less and doesn't last as long as a lie. So, here's the time line.

10:00 P.M. - Get home from school after directing Band/Choir concert. It's now already two hours past my bedtime.

10:04 P.M. - Turn on computer, set alarm for 10:06 to test, so I know it works. (Don't usually use an alarm)

10:05 P.M. - Lay down on the couch while waiting for test alarm to go off.

1:00 A.M. - Wake up. Arrrrrgh!!

1:01 A.M. - Say to self "Idiot" then "What would Charlie Brown do? Answer: He would blame it on somebody from Wisconsin."

1:04 A.M. - Quickly start the thread without checking to see that Andy has already started it.

1:06 - Notice that Stu, who is probably selling saki in the middle of the day now, and Frank, who's from Wisconsin and probably drinking saki, are the first to respond.

All I can say is sorry folks, and

It's Dale's fault!!

My cheque is in the mail.

John,
No need to be sorry at all…. We have all known about Dale for a long time so this does not surprise us in the least.
Darn I am laughing so hard right now I think I scared the deer away from the bird feeder!
Can’t hardly stop.
John, Dude (note the capital D), you have done so much in and for the spirit of the Creek that I can’t imagine what you would have to do to warrant our displeasure.
I think your problem with time zones may have something to do with post dramatic stress syndrome from kayaking in warm Mediterranean water one week and cold Great Lake water the next. This condition is exacerbated by carrot juice consumption, btw.
Just keep doin’ what you do John, you’re tops in our book!
Thanks,
Frank

[John Bailey]

Frank,

Thanks, but you don't get it. I'm bent over right now waiting for somebody to kick me so I feel better. The kindness thing is going to kill me.

John,
We had so much fun at your expense while you were off in “Bailey Time Zone”, that you can figure accounts are square.
Yours in health and good times,
Frank

Here John, if it'll make you feel any better...maybe we can talk some Creekers into building one of these for you. I would do it, but I'm busy.

…And what’s more John Bailey,
After Andy Hoyt’s ticking countdown antics and John Hart’s “Next IT Rules” post, I was so wiped out I could not stay up for the 12:01 EST contest, so I went to bed. …But couldn’t sleep for the spinny contest thoughts going thru my head!!!
John, I don’t even have a lathe, and I was lying there thinking how to use any and all of my rotary tools to make something for this crazy contest!!! If I hadn’t been clicking on the new posts button I’d be in orbit right now.
So anyhow, I begrudge you nothing, and I thank you for a whole lot.
Frank
