Nervous. Not Sure Why.

I'm nervous. I'm not sure why. I'm not worried about what to say. I'm not worried about anything that I can put my finger on. Which makes me wonder if I can usually point out why I am nervous when I am. About to leave work here in a little bit. Go to Bonbrook and get my travel suitcase, then take Thunder to Flow MINI to get the right side door lock fixed, and a state inspection. I'll probably ask them about some wierd idle thing, but that might just be a ido-MINI-synchrosy.. Look.. I am nervous. I'm rambling..

Seatbelt!

--and by the way.. I really didn't mean anything in my comment in Jamie's blog about folks passing out.. Remember, my dad's the preacher.. Just in case there were a bunch of mad Chandlers out there.

Tomorrow Initiates.

Tommorrow Initiates what will probably be a very brilliant month. Tomorrow Donna and I fly to Gulfport, MS at 5:55PM.

My birth father and his wife will be picking us up at the airport. I didn't get nervous until I started writing this.

More Hits...

My parents (Oliver and Elaine since there is now the potential for ambiguity. And for that matter, from now on, Parents will continue to mean O & E, and B-Parents will mean Deb and Greg.. B for Birthparents.. not to denote some sub-A quality...ANYWAY)

O & E will be here tomorrow! They will be here until Monday. They have become world travellers. Donna and I cleaned and cultivated Bonbrook this past weekend.. It was very good to be outside. For the 4th we went to High Rock Lake to visit Rob and Anne's (Bassist from my band) place on the lake. We floated out in their boat to watch the fireworks and then went fishing at midnight. It was very cool, and we had a great time.

Here's the newest little bit of WOW in me getting in touch with my B-parents...

My birth-father's father's best friend and cousin when he was growing up had the name of... wait for it.... David Clark.



You can close your mouth now.

I miss you all. Hope everyone had a great 4th!

Here's a link to photos of my birth mother and father.

This is a link. Use it well, my friend.

The first one is my birth mother, (name still not on here because of searching, etc.) and her husband David.. and her brother Lynn and his wife Penny. Next is B-Mom with b-Grandad, and then B-Mom with her practice's employees.

Bottom two are B-Dad, one with his wife Sonya.

What an amazing month or so....

The Other Half

My birth father (yep) sent me email. And pictures. I'll post them soon. Holy cow.. And the hits just keep on coming.. Get this.. he graduated from Mississippi State witha degree in Computer Engineering.. Hah! And he now works for NASA at Stennis Space Flight Center.. How cool/odd/bizarre is that? Oh.. And he has a Harley.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow..

I look more like my birth-mom, I belive.. But Donna says I have his arms.

Just Occured to me...

It just occured to me a moment ago that women completely miss out on the tiny joy that is a urnial cake.

....And later.. after thinking about it... (thinking about it? C'mon, David)

Look here!

Beach... and a ticket stub.

I found my ticket stub to Vanilla Ice. And I've been rediculed for keeping things as such. Pssssshaw.

Will and Meghan have big news. I won't say what it is, but, since they are already married, there's only one more big news thing there could be, soooooo. Holy Cow! If anybody didn't know, and this shouldn't be here, well too bad.

Went to the beach with Donna and family and neighbors. Played in the ocean and didn't get hurt. This is a first for me. Still haven't gotten those pics up.. Maybe tonight.. Got a few great ones of Nora Shearer from Jeremy's camera last night. She is an adorable little thing.

Melissa and Jeremy had Nora. I cried.
Found my birth mother. I cried. Many times.
Doug Millington turned 30. I cried. And missed. Everybody there.
Dad retired. I spoke. I cried. Did I mention that?
I've cried more spontaneously since I've hit 30 than in my 'pre-triple-decade' life. Is this right?
