For all of my family members and friends in high school and college, this post's for you.
Now, I should note that I'm against cheating on your homework...but I'm the same kid that believed that homework was unnecessary in the first place. I mean, I didn't take my laundry to school, so why should I have to take my books home?!? (In all actuality, I took my laundry to the laundry by the pound people, and payed them to do it - tee hee). So, in the spirit of making life easier for students everywhere, here's a little video clip link I found today, that should help you make it past those pesky term papers or book reports, with a little more ease. Check it out.

Josh, I was thinking of you when I saw this.

By the way, three posts ago, I wrote Savez in Venezuela...it turns out the phrase was Chavez in Venezuela, and the feeling I got was one of danger (just like when I heard we were going into Iraq again).

That's all for today. Promise.

By The Way...
The Michael Godard print Vanessa is searching high and low for is called "Knight Out". It is out-of-print, and very expensive in painting form. Lithographs cost less.
If I know my relatives, though, there are enough artists in the family, and connections out the wazoo, to find it, or something similar. (Know any paint-talented tattoo artists?)
Anyway, this is what it looks like, to give you an idea of what you're helping look for...that is, for those of you that are looking.
Update
Hello, and welcome to another weekly update.
First off, I wanted to let everyone know that Vanessa's necklace (the one reffered to in a previous post) has been found. Miraculously, it was in the garage, under her car. It reminds me of te time I lost a pinky ring, and found it, crushed, in my driveway...but this story has a happier ending, as hers was completely unharmed. Thanks for the prayers...and thanks, St. Anthony.

It's time to send out the invitations, so I'm working hard, and sending out the emails to get addresses from people who need to get them. I know not many will be able to make it to the wedding, but getting the invitation is the important part. Of course, those who can't make it to the wedding, should still be able to make it to one of the parties - either the wedding reception, or the Indy reception.
I'm counting on my Mom to have the Heinzelman/Mesa addresses, and I've put out emails to my groomsmen list, and other friends that should get an invite.

Vanessa's birthday is fast approaching, and thanks to some quick thinking on my Mom's part, she got her BIG present already. I still have to mail out the other presents this week, so they get to her by her birthday (they were bought WAY before the phone bill, so they didn't cntribute!).

I have a sponsor in Germany now, so I can start getting ready (even more so) for my next assignment. Any questions I might have, I usually ask Vanessa, but the work specific ones can go to my sponsor, like:
What will I be doing?
What's the pace?
How long after assignments are given, are they due?
Do I have to bother with housing, if I plan to live with my fiancee/wife?
CAN I HAVE TIME OFF TO FLY TO KANSAS IN JULY FOR MY WEDDING?!?!?
and other questions like that.

So much to do...and so little time...
It's a good thing I'm good at procrastinating. That's a skill that helps you pull things out at the last minute. Though, I'd rather plan ahead for some things.

There's a chance I will not have a phone or internet as of next month. I want to pay my bills, but if I keep the phone, that's more $$$, if I keep the internet, that's more $$$, and the cable is more $$$...I've already asked for help, but I have to do what I can to make the pay-out as little as possible. I will keep the cell phone until I leave, so I will always be contactable, and I can walk to work to get on the internet for email. I'm just letting you all know, so in case you try to call in April and can't reach me, you know why. Of course, I'm open to other suggestions.

I have a dentist appointment next week, to fill/fix a cavity that's preventing me from getting my outprocessing done. They'll either fill it, or root canal it. THEN, when I get to germany, I can have the bottom wisdom teeth taken out (I'z a onna talk all funny like, cuz muh brainz is gonna be gone) before, as my dental contact says, they have to cut them out with a spoon. Literally, they'll have to cut all the way around the calcified tooth-jaw combination with a string-like saw, and pull it out with a spoon-looking instrument. Yum Yum. I hope you already ate.

That's it for now, I'll update more as I get it.
