than never.I have been a busy boy the last few days and have to sign 17,000(!) bookplates when I finish here this morning. That is not a typo...seventeen thousand, by August 12th. We are headed up to QVC Friday and Sunday and these are the stickers that will be in all the copies of Take It Easy offered this weekend. I hope they run out.We had some interesting travels this weekend. I won?t name names but the airline we were on rhymes with Belta. We see the time at the gate to board is 10:15 so Brooke gets a Diet Coke, Bobby goes to the bathroom and Jack and I are playing around the gate. I was asked if we were on the Atlanta flight and told to hustle up, it departs at 10:00 not the posted time. I have a tendency to get anxious when I fly, I missed a flight earlier in my life working with mom and was scarred, another story for another day. Anyway I get the family together and rush on board and we sit on the runway for an hour. Great. Jack has a limited amount of time he can ?play? airplane and we don?t count delays as part of the day. We take off and circle around Atlanta for 45 minutes and are told the airport is calling off landings due to weather...we are going to Augusta. Huh? I have never been called off Atlanta in the 1000 times I have flown in there and for the first time look at my watch and think about the 6 o?clock showtime Bobby and I have in Nashville. We sit in Augusta for awhile and finally take off again and land in Atlanta at around 2 o?clock. Four hours to showtime and with the time change up there we have an extra hour. The folks from Nashville decide our best course of action is to jump in the car and drive up, a 4 hour trip. Brooke and I know Jack will do alot of things at this point and ride in the car for 4 hours is not one of them. We call her dad and he scoops them up and they just stay the night with them. Bobby and I fly (in the car) to Nashville, arrive at 6:10, tee-tee, slam a Diet Coke and walk on stage. Ah, showbiz!The show went well and the hotel is awesome. We worked till around 12 o?clock playing famous and after a cheese burger, I hit the sack. Brooke and Jack flew up early the next day we had a fun family day at the zoo and an early dinner at the Rainforest Cafe?. Jack has a new favorite restaurant. On Sunday morning the weather cleared up and we knew it would be smooth sailing home......A delay in Nashville left us 20 minutes to catch our connection home in Atlanta and while we made the flight our luggage didn?t. The same luggage that had Jack?s blankets in them. The same blankets he has to have to sleep at night. I told him if he goes to sleep daddy will bring his blankets home and he will have them when he wakes up, ?I promise?. I drag my rear out the airport at 10 o?clock Sunday night and watch the carousel go around until oh, about 1:15. Drive home, let the dog out and guess what?!? Jack wakes up. ?Daddy, blankets please?. Crap. I crawl into his bed and we toss and turn until he finally falls asleep and at 5 o?clock in the morning in his sleep he kicks me in the face. Hard. Good morning! I got our bags Monday afternoon. We got our first official books from Random House yesterday and they are beautiful. We wil be on QVC Friday early evening and Sunday afternoon so y?all tune and in and see what?s cookin?.That reminds me....I have 17,000 stickers to sign.Thanks for checking back, sorry I was late. Do good things.-jamie
