Escape the Okie Zone

It's great to talk to you guys again
and let you all know we are safe and sound
unlike some readers who might hope otherwise...
u never know...

I wrote some unsavory things that could easily be misconstrued...
I still wish that I could say that I left all my worries behind me
but
shit will happen
when I'm gone
but I won't worry
if I expect the worst...
like getting one month
of rent over the past year
I guess it's my own fault for attempting to run a non profit
charity house
with only grief and no gratitude...
It's my own fault
for not going through a rental agency...
then they could deal with the irate calls...
and now being out of the country,
I will be greatful for getting any rental income again...
why do I always want to trust the better part of human nature??
when it only bites me in the foot??

but I was constantly reassured that I would get the rent

Do I have gullible stamped on my forehead??

well on a fantastic note
I was able to swim in the surf swim handicap race
and came in 18th swiming with a 6 minute handicap...
and it was nice to know I could keep up with most of them finishing 18th!
Maybe they will take 15 seconds off my handicap!!
It's hard to believe I'm finally here
in my beloved home...
where I played as a child

now we can live vicariously

through our beautiful son, Colin!
