Well...Jim...that makes you one of the FIRST fun people!!!! And, we still dont know for SURE what exactly you do for a living!!!

Personally, I think you are a Military General Practitioner....others have mentioned that they think you are a dentist....while MOST just think you're a freakin NUT!!! Okay...Im lying...I might be the only one who thinks youre nuts!! But if I had a family Doctor who was as funny as you...I might would actually go in for a check up once in a while!!!

Will you ever spill the beans? Will we ever actually KNOW what you do for a living? Why must you be so dang mysterious? Are you the Hawkeye character I imagine you to be?

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/155128Fruit_fishing_2005_1.jpg

Yep if you can recognize me from my ear and grey hair good luck. My face is not shown in that pic and that is why I used that one since it gave very little away.

If you go back to the pic on Crockett's Tavern pic you will notice that my hat is pulled down over my face for a very good reason.

As I said I'm fairly careful in this exposing too much personal info on the internet and might slip up every once in awhile, but am consist in trying to do what I consider safe and prudent.

I can't control what others do at things like the CGs and why I don't plan on attending one, but I would be uncomfortable having pics of me and my DW as posted in a recent thread about one on something like the internet.

I knew right away that this "pattern" would show itself.

The pattern I sense is you always make ressies when you know I won't be there. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm any truth to that. Hey, and with all the people I've met they could at least put in their hobbies "pickin on Donnie" like Angie did.

[Shan-man]

Great job, Shan.... but I believe Bob Keeshan died in 2004!

No, the Bob Keeshan identity was an NSA cover which was blown in 2004 forcing LarryJ to begin a nomadic existence and evade the foreign operatives that are seeking him, and the microfiche he carries. Now do you understand why he's so secretive? BTW, Pete, the cuddliness of Captain Kangaroo was part of the cover, and to continue to act that way would create a dangerous connection between the former cover and the man.

I hope this clears things up. :rolleyes1

I did look for you time to time but never did run into yall. Logan was in Charleston with Gramps and Grandma so I was not at the pool very much. (Except 4 a.m. with the older kids because doesn't every child want to swim at 4 a.m.?)

We had a few late nights at the pool, the girls thought it was fun to see the lifeguards off duty and breaking the rules.I noticed all the "bad" kids goto the other pool after 11:00 pm, funny, reminded me of me when I was that age.. ..Seriously, sorry we didn't see you . We are booked for end of June to Begining of August for next year. We were in 500 loop and was great. Think the day we did all the loops was the day we might have seen you, but figured if it was not you, we would have sent someone calling Security for a cartful of weirdo's stopping people and saying hi.:rotfl:
