I'm not ignoring anyone or refusing to pay anybody. I promise.

I completely forgot about the transaction with David Spragg. My mother and father in law bought us new carpeting as a wedding gift. So basically, we had to pack everything up like we were moving, just didn't do the moving part. So we tore up all the old carpeting, went carpet shopping, then waited another month for the carpet to get installed We are finally trying to get all settled back in and find all the stuff we randomly threw in boxes! I got the chips the day we started tearing up the old carpeting, and I didn't get around to finding what David sent me until this weekend.

Also, Larry, I'm not ignoring you. The other big event has been the Mrs. has been quite sick the past few weeks, and I'm trying to balance working 60 hours a week while taking care of my wife. Usually, this goes the other way around, so this is an entirely new experience with my job description suddenly becoming Mr. Mom. Larry, I am hoping to make a Cactus Pete's run during one of the next two days I have off (if they are in yet) so if I am able to get the chips, we can resume our conversation, OK?

I mess around on Facebook during the occasional quiet hour I have at work. Or in the case of last night, when I didn't want to hear The Voice contestants stomp out the enjoyable memories I have to "Sledgehammer" and "Brand New Key".

So I am still alive and kicking. No need to come for a visit and make sure I haven't died in my sleep. I appreciate the concern.
