Last night I went to Bdubs in Lima with my friend Len, and I think it was only the third time I have been at the new store in Lima. Ironically I saw Mike there all three times. I have come to the conclusion that he basically lives there; although Mike said he has only been there three times himself (with a laugh.) Obviously he was only kidding. He moved to Lima from Columbus Grove after college in Columbus at the Ohio State University. I guess he familiarizes himself with bdubs, because it is so popular. They used to be located out bye the American Mall, but like many businesses near and at the mall they moved out. Building the new store was a great benefit for the chain, because nowadays like every weekend the parking lot is packed. Talking about the OLD store makes me think of my OLD friend Amy, who happened to email today. Thinking of Amy made me think of my sister, because Amy seems to have several communicative traits like my family. Thinking of my older sibling makes me think of Amy’s brother Eric. The biggest difference is my sister is five years older than me, but Amy seems much older than Eric than five years. I may as well put this to rest, her mom, Marie, claims she is only 33, but I think that I need to see a birth certificate. Anyway… thinking of thinking of Eric makes me feel sorry for his family. I talked with John yesterday, and I hung up the phone nearly in tears. I feel close with his family even though we just meet about seven weeks ago. Eric is still comatose but constantly showing signs of improvement. He has been known to track things and/or people these last few days. It really does not matter how small of steps he is taking forward each day, but it is definitely positive that steps are not taken backwards. It is important to me that regression in coming out of his coma is not experienced. All I can do is pray, and I know that he is in the best hands at Dodd Hall.
In other news the Celtics lost last night to Orlando, but the Reds played great as they beat the Division leading St. Louis Cardinals. I also saw Jay, Kim, and Austin last night.
Today I am going to the annual chicken slam party. Later and God Bless!
