I have internet access! ... http://www.ellis-jacobson.com/2006/08/14/well-how-cool-is-this/ and he'll kill me if I said that to him.... but he's just so cute...and loving football!

Here it is...9:30am ... http://www.ellis-jacobson.com/2006/06/09/she-is-my-daughter/ Tim had to go out of town...the only thing left in the office was to paint...so guess who had the GRAND idea to paint it so that I could get the house back into some semblance of order? Yeah, that would be me... I started last night after Tim left...I primed it, ... http://www.ellis-jacobson.com/2006/05/31/i-did-it/ I want to stay here. Forever.

The "business" center The common area...and a crappy little 19" TV...that had the NASCAR race on...
