Congratulations, Plumber, on your young pipe hanger! I know you have sweated more than fittings to get your bunch through school. No one can take that away from them. Best of luck to him on his future career!
BTW,
I ran into a big KCHS fan and Notre Dame fan at Pilot last night. SewaneeVol and I road up to South Bend on a great ND Alumni bus trip he arranged. He said something about ND coming back and I told him my mighty Webb School Spartans had come back, too.
He agreed, but was done with me after that--especially after I got my free drink because his gas pump would not print a receipt!
I saw Judge Tim Irwin this morning. He looks good, but is beginning to look like the plumber/inspector his grandfather was. I admire what he does for the Boy's Clubs.
More inbreeding: Also, I went to a 100-year Celebration of Ijams History at Ijams Nature Center the other night and was giving a board member a hard time. I looked over at the name tag of the lady she was talking to and realized it was your wife's ex-boss. I had told my friend, George, who is an Ijams descendent, and President of the Board this year, that I noticed that he was replacing my cousin's ex-wife (MD). I used to get their mail and phone calls all the time and had several call me about something positive my cousin had done. Naturally, I took credit for it. I told her I met her years ago with her ex when George and I went cross country skiing at Newfound Gap--don't try that up there, if your knee is shot. She remembered. I didn't ask about the ash spill.
As you told me once about me and an ex-SPS UTJethro poster on here: "Only in East Tennessee!"
