Day of the week I look forward to because I get your questions and I get to

respond to him but I need some help and that help usually comes from Miss Mary Langston. How are you today?

I'm doing great. How are you doing? I'm doing pretty well. I thank you for asking. College football is about a month away and that's kind of my

barometer for happiness. That's true. I forgot about that. I wasn't keeping track of it, but I'm sure my brothers are.

Well, let me ask you this. I mean, what else would be more important for you to keep track of other than that?

I'm more worried about the days being shorter, not having as much sun, but maybe I should keep track of the sports too.

No, you definitely should should you should find a college sports team and then have

your happiness be in direct proportion to how that team does. It might go up and down then. Or you can pull for the South Carolina

game clocks and just have it pretty much down. And there's no roller coaster. It's just a valley valley maybe it'll be different this season though

we'll see yeah maybe so to quote dumb and dumber so you're telling me there's a chance

haven't seen that one but I'll trust you on it.

You haven't seen any good movies.

That's true.
