IS IT NAP TIME YET? (By Robert Chapman)


I can’t quite figure out which is more difficult, finding something to write about on a Friday or staying awake as the rain makes that “come on, sleep” sound in downtown Jackson.

I’m at my desk and I heard someone make a crack that “we are getting six weeks of rain in three days.” Rather than complaining that it is raining outside, I’m just glad that my yard is getting some water, and my water bill is getting a break.

After nearly two weeks of being married, Megan and I still like each other and we still talk kindly to each other. Get back to me with how long you think we can keep this up. I made dinner last night, and surprised Meg by making shrimp alfredo on angel hair pasta. Let’s just say I did good and earned brownie points by cleaning up the kitchen afterwards.

After we both get off of work, we are heading down to Perdido Key, Florida to enjoy some relaxation and sunshine. The only thing is we’re coming back Sunday and work starts bright and early on Monday morning. I’m longing for NEXT weekend.

My mother’s birthday is tomorrow, but we won’t be here to celebrate it with her. However, Meg and I are taking her out Monday night to her favorite Mexican restaurant, Margaritas. Happy 29th Birthday, Mom!!!

That’s the news from the Chapman Commossion. Have a great weekend!

You will be able to keep it up (the talking nice, that is) until your first child is about 10 days old. At that point, you are likely to say something not-as-kind to your beautiful bride - but you'll both be too tired to remember it anyway. :-)
Have a wonderful vacation!

"After nearly two weeks of being married, Megan and I still like each other and we still talk kindly to each other." Haha... always a plus. I'm just upset you never cooked me food like that!

Sorry, Pat. You never asked!
