SO..

WE RECEIVED SOME "GREAT" NEWS YESTERDAY..

JD..OUR OLDEST..

WHO WILL GRADUATE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA "NEXT"- MONTH..

GOT "2"-JOB OFFERS YESTERDAY..

HE'S BEEN INTERVIEWING FOR THE PAST MONTH OR SO..

BUT WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY
IT IS..

& UNEMPLOYMENT "STILL" KIND OF HIGH..

("ESPECIALLY" FOR "NEW" COLLEGE GRADUATES)..

"WE"..

I GUESS I "SHOULD SAY "I"

WAS A "LITTLE"-AFRAID..

THAT HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A DIFFICULT-TIME "FINDING" A JOB..

BUT WHAT "REALLY" HAD ME FEARFUL WAS THAT HE "WOULDN'T" GET A JOB..

& HE'D HAVE TO MOVE BACK HOME..

(NOW I'VE "ALREADY" TURNED "HIS"-ROOM INTO MY MAN CAVE..
SO "THAT" HORSE HAS "LEFT THE BARN"..
SO.."WHERE" WOULD HE "SLEEP"?)..

BUT..LIKE I SAID..

GOOD NEWS YESTERDAY..

WITH "2"-JOB OFFERS..

"1"

IS A MANAGEMENT TRAINEE POSITION WITH "PEPSI"..IN DENVER..

& THE "OTHER"..

IS A SALES-JOB WITH "ALTRIA"..
IN PHOENIX..

("ALTRIA" IS AN "EVIL" TOBACCO COMPANY)..

NOW "PERSONALLY"..

"I'D" PROBABLY CHOOSE DENVER
"OVER" PHOENIX..

("MAINLY" BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT TO LIVE ANYWHERE THAT'S "HOTTER" THAN BAKERSFIELD)..

BUT IT'S "HIS" CHOICE..

& "EITHER"-WAY..

I'M "EXCITED" FOR HIM..

"&"..FOR HIS MOTHER & I..

& I'M "REALLY" PROUD OF HIM..

THEY WAY "I" LOOK AT IT..

I'LL EITHER BE

CONSUMING A "LOT" OF "FREE"-"PEPSI"..

OR..

I'LL BE CONSUMING A "LOT"
OF "FREE"-
TOBACCO PRODUCTS & TOBACCO-RELATED ACCESSORIES & APPAREL..

(THEY HAVE THE "COOLEST"-STUFF IN THOSE "CIGARETTE SHOPS")..

I "REALLY" WANT A SAMURI SWORD..

"&"..

ONE OF THOSE FULL-SIZE..
"WOODEN"..INDIAN CHIEFS..

"&"..

"MAYBE" A HOOKAH..
-----------------------

(#2)

SO..

I TOLD YOU..

THE OUR SON JD..

WHO IS GRADUATING FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA IN DECEMBER..

HAS "2"-JOB OFFERS..

WHICH IS A "HUGE" RELIEF TO HIS MOTHER & ME..

(WELL.."MAINLY"-ME..
BECAUSE I'VE "ALREADY" TURNED "HIS" ROOM INTO "MY" MAN CAVE)..

"ONE" OF THE OFFERS IS FOR A MANAGEMENT TRAINEE POSITION WITH "PEPSI"..IN DENVER..

& THE "OTHER"

IS A SALES JOB WITH "ALTRIA"
IN PHOENIX..

SO..

"I'M" A "WINNER"..
EITHER-WAY..

BECAUSE..
I'LL EITHER BE CONSUMING A "LOT"
OF "FREE" "PEPSI" PRODUCTS..

OR..

I'LL BE CONSUMING A "LOT" OF "FREE" TOBACCO-RELATED PRODUCTS & ACCESSORIES..

FRIDAY NIGHT..WE WERE TEXTING BACK & FORTH AFTER HE RECEIVED HIS "OFFICIAL" OFFER-LETTER..

& HE TEXTED..

"HEY..I WANT TO THANK YOU AS WELL. I WOULDN'T BE IN THIS POSTION WITHOUT YOU"..

& "I" TEXTED BACK..

"YOU DID ALL THE WORK. I JUST STOOD-BY & WATCHED WITH PRIDE"..

& "HE" TEXTED..

"YES..BUT YOU PUSHED ME TO DO THE WORK & TAUGHT ME THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT"..

I WAS LIKE "WOW"..

"THAT" WAS A "REALLY" NICE THING TO "SAY"..

MY BOY IS "GROWING-UP"..

TO BEING HIS "FRIEND"..

("&"..TO THE LIFE-SIZE WOODEN INDIAN CHIEF THAT I'LL HAVE IN MY MAN CAVE)
