I hope you've been having a great "summer" (if you can call it that!) Jackie and I are back from our break, rested and ready to roll. But before we dive into the news of the day, I thought I'd take a minute to catch you up on my time off, kind of like the kids do when they head back to school. With that said, here's a short essay: 

What I Did On My Summer Vacation by Dickie P. 

I had a great time on my vacation. First of all, I slept in and then had breakfast while watching cartoons. (I think Spongebob and Patrick might be more than just "friends".)

One day, I opened a lemonade stand at the bottom of my driveway. Lot's of cars drove by, but no one stopped until I changed the sign to read: "Lemonade & Vodka". After that, business really picked up. 

One weekend I went to Cedar Point! It was a blast! I got on "The Raptor" and pulled a muscle in my shoulder putting on the seat belt. I asked the teenager running the ride to let me off, then put a note in the suggestion box. It said: "Please change the sign from "You must be 54 inches to ride the Raptor" to "You must be under 30 years old to ride the Raptor". 

I saw a lot of people there wearing T-Shirts like "I Used To Be With Stupid. Now I'm with an Idiot!" and "I'm the Best Ride at Cedar Point". 

I was disappointed that they didn't have Salmon flavored funnel cakes, but other than that it was an awesome trip! 

I also went to sleepaway camp, but got homesick and called my mom, uh, my wife, to pick me up after one day. 

I did a lot of other stuff too, but I really don't remember. 

All in all, it was an excellent summer vacation. 

-Dickie P. 

Have a great day and I'll see you back here tomorrow! 

It's Vacation Time!

Hi guys (can you still say "guys" for everybody?) 

I've made the executive decision to give Jackie and myself a few weeks off from the Blog, Facebook and Podcasting! Let's face it, Summer only rolls around once a year and here in Michigan we never know how long it's gonna last! 

Back when we run out of sunscreen... And if you see a guy roaming around town in black socks and sandals - it'll probably be me...

Have fun!
