Hello All,
Since I wrapped up our tornado response deployment in central
Illinois, I have been traveling around Siberia.
And by Siberia, I mean the upper midwest, where temperatures have
resembled what we can expect during the next ice age.
In much more exciting news, a few weeks ago a beautiful woman named
Lindsay came from Chicago to volunteer on my tornado response team. After a calendar year of Dan and me endlessly
forced to stare at each other on job sites all around the country, I think we
both thought Lindsay was a mirage when she showed up one morning to work with us.
I think I must have blacked out shortly after she arrived. (pretty women and condiments are two things that have been known to make me faint) At the end of our day in the field, I miraculously had an invitation to go up to Chicago to visit Lindsay and check out the city! I don’t think she had any idea what she was
getting herself into. After all, I’m the
guy who has no idea why I keep finding two forks next to my dinner plate, and the last time I had on a matching outfit was when my mother dressed
me for my baptism in 1983.
My time in Chicago over this past month has been wonderful. Lindsay has taken me to do more
activities than the guys from Step Brothers could ever dream of. Theatres, and concerts, and dinners, and art etc. You spoiled me big time! Thank you for opening my eyes to things other than college football and the kids menu at Applebees.
All kidding aside, it's not every day that I'm lucky enough to meet someone that serves as an example for how I want to live. You combine such hard work with hard play, and are incredibly loyal to your family and friends. It's inspiring stuff. Thanks for giving this earth wondering nucklehead the time of day. You are good peoples.

PS. I just finished my 1,500+ mile journey from Minneapolis to Boston for the holidays. I capped off the road trip by hanging out with some great friends and watching Clemson Crew's very own Adam Langlois perform as a stand up comic. He is incredibly talented and is quickly taking Boston by storm with his jokes and devilish good looks. I'm proud of you sir. Keep it up!
Check him out (maybe NSFW)
PPS.. Thanks LK for taking the time. You are a good friend.
Merry Christmas!
