Tomorrow am I'm going to South Carolina to visit my brother-in-law and his family for a week. So my participation will be spotty if at all for a while.

Ok, for us heathens, why is it; "the land of the political laughing stocks"?

Enjoy yourself Crackpot.
Expect to play third fiddle to your wife's growing bump!
(Is she proud of her swelling at present? My manager is at around the same stage and is dressing to promote the bumpiness at the moment.)

Not really she's more pissed that none of her clothes fit anymore.

Ahh. I was one of them.
I tried to keep going in 'normal clothes', probably for longer than I should have.

Books on tape AND music. Depended on moods.
(More often books on tape.)

Where abouts are you going CP?
I've been to Charleston...It's a charming town...a lot of character; beautiful old buildings, a great beach front....

We're supposed to stay a day or two in Charleston but 'f I'm reading the maps correctly (I really don't pay attention till I need to) we'll be spending most of your time in the north west corner.

Excellent approach...
That's a skill I acquired after I got married...
I figure I'll avoid ulcers and live a lot longer that way...

I made it to the hotel (after near 12 hours of straight driving) Why didn't we check prices on flying and renting a car again?
I'll be checking in from time to time.

Do NOT have sex with Nikki Haley.
Or a horse.
I know these are things people in South Carolina do, but you don't have to.

Try sleeping.
A novel suggestion, I know, but it works for some people.

Don't tell me the missus had sex with Nikki Haley. Or a horse. My warning was meant to apply to BOTH of you!
