Since you have left us, I have been listening to "You're Missing" by Springsteen a lot. Ok, just once. I still remember the magical night he was on SNL and we watched him perform thru the megaphone. Those were the days. Ross was alive back then.
Children are asking if it's alright
Will you be in our arms tonight?
Morning is morning, the evening falls I have
Too much room in my bed, too many phone calls
How's everything, everything?
Everything, everything
You're missing, you're missing
We're expecting some contact from West of Nashville. God Speed.

If anyone wants to get me a going away present, Bruce Springsteen: VH1 Storytellers on DVD.
I live in Memphis now. It's 100 degrees and raining. I feel real good about that.
Justin, I love you too.
I have seen that Storytellers, and it is good. I think it would technically be a gone-away present.
you are gonna get jungle rot 2x a year.
JD,
I am alive. All is well. I've been traveling a little bit, but I'm back home for a while.
I remember the night we saw Springsteen sing. The moment was even better when each of us used the megaphone to both see and hear the performance better. It was magical.
Andrew is getting used to the heat. His apartment has a wood burning fireplace which he will never need. Unless he cranks his AC down to about 38 degrees.
Aaron,
I need a detailed update on how you are doing. What's your job like now? How's the town? What is the grosest thing you have seen at the hospital?
Yes, where is our fearless blog creator? Good work Ross.
Aaron, I'm sure your working your butt off. Are the people in your hospital as horny as the ones on Grey's Anatomy?
Ross, where have you been traveling to? Does Skipper D know about said travels?
JD,
I have been in the Czech Republic on a mission trip. Some highlights were drinking Czech beer everynight (f.y.i. the Czechs think the Irish are pansies when it comes to drinking) and hiking along the mountain range that separates CZ and Poland. We hiked to the top of the highest mountain in the Czech Republic. Very cool.
Skipper D was not happy that I would be out of cell phone range for two weeks. When I called him after the trip he asked if I was in fact Ross Denney as he couldn't remember the sound of his first born's voice. He is getting rather sarcastic in his old age.
Aaron,
I hope the doctors are not like the ones on Grey's Anatomoy. If they are I'm sure you are well aware of STD treatments and how you do not want an ex-lover in front of you with a scalpel. Yikes!
MEN,
I miss you all. ANdrew I think of you constantly and long for you often. I would love to hear about the move. Ross I would love to hear about the trips. Aaron I would love to hear about the new doctor thing too. JD how is marriage?
Sorry, UNtil THen!
Adam,
Marriage is incredible. I love my wife more and more every day. We are placing membership at our church on Sunday, so its official.
Just so everyone knows. Lex told me last night that Andrew made quite an impression on the teachers of ECS yesterday.
I figure this time next year, he will be headmaster. He will then bring all our friends on staff at ECS. Here are your future teaching assignments:
JD: Computer Technology / Golf Coach / Rock Climbing (that will be a new elective offered)
Nunley: Political Science / Government / head football coach
Landon: Business/Econ/Finance/Marketing/ Golf Coach / Push-Ups 101 (another new elective
Kev: Web Design / Hacking (they will be served eggs and noodles everyday) / Photography / Football assistant (helping anyone that needs to put on weight)
Aaron: Biology / Chemistry / Anatomy / Mountain Biking / Adventure Racing / No-Limit Hold'em (the final for this class is you dropping everyone off at Tunica with $10 and they have to earn/play enough to get comped a room and two buffet dinners
Seth: Mathematics / Assistant football coach / Man Training (This will involve cutting wood, working with power tools, surviving without heat, electricity, or being near normal civilization)
Brandon: Business / Chest Hair Grouwing / Beard Maintenance / Man Training (Working with Seth, your focus will be making and eating strange combinations of food and teaching the ability to hit guys in the shoulder in the exact same place everytime so you cause massive bruises and deformities
Andrew: Along with his headmaster duties, he will teach English / A Memphis Survival Class (first lesson will be how to survive the heat and be constantly sweating) / He will also continue his swim coach duties and take on the responsibility of head server in memory of his Cracker Barrel days
For those that weren't at the pool after Flugtag, Adam, Brandon, Andrew and I were kicking around a few ideas for the 2007 ECS swim team shirts. One of them was "ECS SWIMMING 2007: Sharks and minnows in the deep end"
Andrew will also be called "Coach Marco"
Practice would include Cannonball form, Cannonball technique and Cannonball etiquette.
We still need to find a way to make all the water get blown out of the pool, for one of Andrew's demonstrations of proper Cannonball form.
I just taught a black boy named Keith how to swim at our apartment pool.
And by swim, I mean talked a 10 year old boy to finally take off his yellow water wings.
Baby steps. Baby steps.
a bay bay
a bay bay
a bay bay
And all this time you thought black people didn't swim.
