Hey John,
It's great, great, great to hear from you. Let the tears come, and also make sure you get plenty to laugh about coming your way. I'll do my best to make you laugh here. Like, how at first I called the reality show about the 1867 cowboys "cowboy stock options." Then Victoria corrected me in the thread (it's really called "Texas Ranch House") but I didn't see it right, and so I went back and corrected it to be "Texas Ranch Hands."
For more lasting laughs, I recommend watching some good movies--comedies, people, let's think of some kick ass comedies for John! Ok, these will sort of date me, but here are some of my faves from back in the day:
Mr. Mom (best line: "21, 22, whatever it takes.")
Stir Crazy (classic Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor flick)
The Sure Thing (a great John Cusak movie--before Say Anything even!)
The In-Laws (the 1970's version, not last year's re-make!)
Okay, that's enough for me....I'm sure there must be more really funny things from the past 20 years but I can't think of much right now!
Love and Prayers,
Jenny (p.s. keep those mid-line crosses going! just march in place and you'll basically be doing it)
