OOPS!
Seasons Greetings Friends, Family & Loved Ones
Just our annual missive to let you know how all the gang is doing and all the exciting and wonderful things that happened this past year.
First off, or son, Jimmy, has been out of rehab for three weeks now, and still doing great, except for that one little relapse, nothing really. And Mickey, his ex-girlfriend, has agreed to let him see Jimmy Jr as soon as he catches up on child support, which is assured once the settlement comes in. You may remember that we were sueing the rehab place after the roof collapse that left poor Jimmy with permanent PTSD and a total loss of ability to smell or taste.
Better yet, it looks like the other Jimmy Jr, isn’t really Jimmy’s at all. It turns out that the “porn star” he had a “date” with on his Texas trip, wasn’t being truthful when she assured Jimmy that he was the only one she had slept with for months.
Meanwhile Jimmy’s older brother, Billy, and his wife Milly, just had their second child, a beautiful little girl. Older sister, Charlene (formerly brother Charlie), is just delighted to have a new little sister. Charlene, by the way, has very generously agreed to be an “organ” donor from her upcoming reassignment surgery. How great is that?
Daughter Jennifer is still living with us and still bartending at the strip bar. Her boss adores her, and she has been there longer than anyone else, nearly three months. Of course, her tips are not as good as the “performance artists,” but she does pretty well working in the well (well in the well, get it?).
Ever the good Samaritan, Jen recently rescued a kitten from a storm sewer. She named her Penny Wise (like from the Stephen King Movie) and Penny is as clever and as evil as her namesake. Penny’s bad behavior is mild, however, as compared to her kitten stepsister, Twitch, who is evil incarnate, at least as kittens go. Jen certainly has a way with rescues. She is always bringing home strays, injured, and unwanted creatures. But we try to be understanding when it comes to her friends.
Also, good news about Uncle Fred. His parole hearing is just two weeks away and it looks really promising this time. The owner of the liquor store where the “incident” occurred has passed away, and therefore won’t be at the hearing. Keep your fingers crossed. If he gets out, he will finally be a free man, except for the restraining orders, and can live a normal and happy life. Freda, his “prison bride,” can’t wait for him to get to his new home and start fixing the “double-wide” up.
Finally, you will all be pleased to know that the bankruptcy is finally final. We were able to keep the house, the car, and all $600 in our retirement account. We gave the kids all the pieces in our black velvet art collection and sold a bunch of stuff including the poker chip collection and all the VCR’s at a garage sale before we filed, so the judge didn't take it all away. Things will be a little tight for a while, but with our new credit cards and credit line from Vinny, we should be just fine.
So that’s it with us. We’re doing great and hope all of you are doing as well.
