Answer the Phone
Mood:  chatty
Now Playing: We are the Champions

Well, yesterday I was working on line when my phone rang and my call wave kicked in. It was my Grandson Michael. He and his brother Nick, (my other grandson) are here in Memphis staying the summer with their other Grandfather. I called them right back and talked briefly with them. They said that they have been in Memphis for about a week. Their schedule is pretty full this week with a family reunion on that side and a weekend fishing trip in Arkansas and I will see them next Monday or so.

I am excited to say the least for the opportunity to see them. I saw Michael back during the winter when he was visiting Memphis. We went to a movie ("Day after Tommorrow") and he spent the night with me. However, it's been several years since I saw Nick. He was just a little boy like in the picture but now he is a young teenager of 14. I think he is still short though. I will find out when I see him next week. I think he may have gotten his height from his Great Grandpa Sowell who was a shot man.

I don't know what we are going to be doing. You know how bored teenage boys gets. They want to "Hang out" with their Grandpa Sowell. We will most likely do a movie and cruse the mall. Michael did inform me that his birthday has just past (May 17). It's hard to believe he is 16 now and drives. I will have to get him something for his birthday. And then of course Nick's birthday isn't until November but I better go ahead and treat him too, since he won't be here in November (Thank God for my gigs). Michael did tell me that he may stay his senior year here in Memphis and attend Gate Way School, which is a private Baptist school. They would love to have him on their basketball team. He would be an asset on any school's team. Michael is 6'5" tall and loves to play basketball. He tells me that he's been practicing. I told him that his height and playing skills could very well be his ticket to a good rewarding life. So, we will see. He also told me that he want's to work at the corner supermarket.

Well, I'm going to bed. I played at Gig today at Ava Maria and I have another one tomorrow at Riverdale.

Although there just a one hour performance, I need the rest. I gotta keep my thinker straight.
Good night.
