TMV is writing this from Phoenix, AZ. Yes, his car part finally came in and so his days of being stranded in the mountains of Eastern Arizona a few hours from the New Mexico border ended. And…wait…who’s that?
It’s me. You called on me and asked me to help you and I did.
You mean…
Yes. Me. But, Joe, why is it you only call on me for things such as car repairs, making Tom Cruise go away and ways to do what that enlargement email is offering to help you do?
I thank you for answering my prayers. I sat up there for days paying for extra days in a hotel room…
No big deal. But I did miss the latest White House press secretary briefing. Oh, well, I’ll just listen to whatever Sean Hannity has to say and I’ll get all of it, word for word.
You listen to him?
I listen to you all no matter what religion. You thought I only talked to Pat?
That’s great to hear. You know, I do like making people happy. The past few days I couldn’t write much on this blog.
That made people really happy.
Thank you again.
Don’t mention it. I’ve gotta run now. I have to catch a showing of The Da Vinci Code. I’m going with Da Vinci.
