In Eckleburg's Eyes - 3/20/2009, Part 1

News & Notes from Wednesday, March 18th, 2009, Part 1

-I spent Wednesday afternoon with KJW and RAW. As we were leaving their house to go lunch, KJW reprimanded her father, “Don’t say that word.” The word in question was “butt”. Naturally, RAW responded by repeatedly said the word.

-There was an also an excellent exchange between RAW and KJW when he referred to her as an “evil monkey” (a pet name). She responded, “I’m not an evil monkey.” He then asked, “What are you?” Her reply? “A scofflaw.” (RAW’s favorite word.) He was very proud.

-We took advantage of the beautiful day and took the scenic route to Lenoir City where we ate at Gerald’s Smokehouse. It was RAW’s first time there. He enjoyed the prime rib sandwich. He also enjoyed sneaking KJW’s fries. She did not mind. She interpreted it as her daddy “sharing”. It did not seem like a good day to correct her vocabulary. (Note: RAW styled KJW's hair. He wanted to put it in a ponytail but has yet to perfect this style.)

-RAW is well. Best Buy is slated for another corporate overhaul on April 6th and he is interested in seeing how this affects him, if at all. Our friend DBN is applying for the position of sales manager. Neither Knoxville store presently has a sales manager. That does not seem good. Please pray that DBN gets the position.

-After lunch we visited KLTW at the Fort Loudon Medical Center. I had never been there. The hospital is very nice. It should be. It is only four years old. Our visit was very brief as KLTW had work to do. KJW asked us where we were going. We told her we were going to take her home so that she could take a nap as aside from a brief rest in the car, she had not slept all day. Her response? “I’m not crying.”
