My new tattoo

My grandparents were very important to me. I was an only grandchild and they doted on me. They both died last year. Since I'm leaving Texas to move to Seattle next week, I wanted to take a little part of them with me. When I was a kid, they had a CB radio. Our handles were Mama Rat, Papa Rat, and Baby Rat. The Rat Pack. My buddy Bart did this tattoo for me in honor of them. The little cowboy outfit was my favorite one and Grandpa was always doing crossword puzzles. It turned out bigger than I thought but I love it. It covers half the outside of my left leg.

Life is overwhelming me

My life is insane! I got back from my Seattle vacation on September 13th and then I spent the next two and a half weeks working marathon sessions at work training my successor. My last day was the 28th. Since then, I've spent all my time going through all our stuff sorting out what I'm selling in my big garage sale this weekend. Rhonda is already in Seattle so she's no help. Next week, I'll be packing because the movers are coming on the 12th. Then I'll be driving with my 3 cats and 1 dog for a week to get to Seattle. So, all that to say that I won't be putting out a new podcast until at least the end of October. I just don't have time. I hate having to put it off but it just has to be done. Everybody take care and I'll be back at the end of October or the beginning of November for lots more from our talented Xenaverse bards.
