Leaving Today

Mrs njretcop and I are leaving today for our drive to Nashville. The Hudson is ready and all gased up. (Tell you the truth, I have a little gas myself this morning so Ma's gonna hafta keep her window down).

Friends and family have gathered to say so long and wish us well. You know, it's great to have such good neighbors. Several of them told us to enjoy ourselves, don't worry about the house, and stay away as long as we want to. In fact, two neighbors told us that they wouldn't mind if we never came back. What great friends we have!

My brother-in-law came by too. He's older than I am and retired from General Motors. When he started there it was known as Lieutenant Motors. Anyway he wanted to brag about his new Cadillac with GSP. He told me they can track his car anywhere in the world by satellite. Big deal I said, they can track the Hudson even easier. Damn thing leaks oil so bad it leaves a trail that a blind man could follow.

I'm not really good at directions and Ma just loves telling me I'm going the wrong way. (I must admit that when I get to the end of our street, I don't remember if you go left or right to head West.) Right away she'll be saying, "Why don't you stop and ask somebody you old fool?" Everybody knows that men don't ask directions!

If all goes well we should reach the border of Pennsylvania late tonight. It takes us a long time because at our age neither of us can pass a bathroom anymore. Also she likes to stop at the scenic overlooks and have lunch. In NJ, the only thing they overlook anymore is a toxic dumpsite.

We have the laptop with us, so we will still be on-line. Bye for now.

    I will see you guys Sunday night. I am on my way to two and a half days of guns and relaxation in Lafayette, IN. I will be instructing Indiana hunter education instructors in range set up, safety, and range officer responsibility. With that goes a lot of shooting.

    Any of you that may live close, we'll be at Ross Camp. Drop by and we'll down a cup. Ask for Dennis Nail, the guy that rides a Harley, or the crazy cop. They'll direct you to me.

    Hey Charlie, Nashville is a really nice fun town. Are you going to Memphis to see Graceland? (imagine Paul Simon's "Graceland" swelling in the back ground as theme music) Have a safe and fun trip! Do send us some post cards!

    You have got to put all these things you write together. If it doesn't sell at least you will put a couple in the hospitable from laughing so hard.
