IT HAS BEEN RELEASED !!!
I repeat… IT HAS BEEN RELEASED !!!
We are back at Grandpa’s house, resting and grateful to be free.
Thank you Jebus!
And big thanks to all of you for putting up with my whining, and for all the support and well wishes.
Now… about that little 12-hour drive back to Indiana tomorrow…
After tucking in the girl and the wife at the hospital for the night, I stumble on The Elbow Room, a local Pensacola pizza and beer place with board games and Star Trek memorabilia mixed in with a red light speakeasy decor, and an old school juke box full of 50s-60s music. So far Sinatra, Sam Cooke and Del Shannon “Wanderer” have played.
Oh, and the pizza is amazing (sausage mushroom bacon onion, of course).
This place is so perfect, I suspect aliens read my most secret desires and created this place just for me. If I get abducted, it was worth it.
Thank you, Elbow Room, this is exactly what I needed after a rough couple of days.

Wonderful Wife: “Oww.”
Little Miss Thing, age 6: “What’s wrong, Mama?”
WW: “Oh, I think I just strained a muscle in my arm a little.”
LMT: “Would it help if you rubbed my foot?” (sticks foot in air)
WW: “Uhh… yes. Yes, it would. How did you know?”
LMT: “I’m smart.”
