I am hoping something will change I really want to be there. Courtney has a 4.375 weighted GPA and just scored a 2046 on her SATs as a junior and needs to do a 6 week course for a preplacement to start college a year early. Sorry she didn't get it from me I cant speel shit most of the time. I was hopeing to do the Cornell thing seeing as how she is pre accepted in Ithaca which is within striking distance to Bennington for the weekend but the college boards are saying Mid Tenn or Virgina Tech for 6 weeks so I am fucked. I am a southern boy and Mid Tenn is more to my liking but Tina told me we are not sending her 800 miles away without atleast checking it out first. Called the school and they said thursday and friday of the bash so I guess I will just have to wish for a BTB 3 fuck me running I could fall in a heep of 100s and still find the only turd in the whole fucking stack and come out smelling like shit. I will miss you guys and hope for great weather and safety for ya'll may the force be with ya and keep me in mind when the beer comes out.

I am deeply sadden and you will be missed! You never know though things change and you might still be able to make it. The light is always on at my home for you! I totally agree that family comes first! If you don't make it we will have you up for an extended weekend this summer. Hell what are you doing over the July 4th weekend? You want to come up and ride? I'll call you my brother!

Good idea Matt! We can call it the "make-up-run" for those unable to get to this one.

Wow, now that's justification for being a proud parent! Jimmy, it sounds like its gonna be a really great day for you and your family. Now if you can do me the favor of turning off your phone any time there might be a serious moment as I will not take the heat for you breaking out in a belly laugh cause of some hooliganism caught on my cell while the school president or some other campus dignitary is showing you guys around.

Also - make sure the college is a gun friendly campus because we know how many lunatics have recently shown up on college campus's and I know how good of a shot Courtney is! She alone could put a quick end to a nut-job intent on randomly hurting others!

Jimmy,

Family comes first man, but just make sure the path to the college makes a stop in bennington.

I'll miss you this year, just means you'll have to double the beer next year.

Jeff, I just want to know, what college is gun friendly in this political administration?

Lets see..... wasn't your Dad going to the Hospital for a colon-oscopy on that given weekend and since it requires your presence given their advanced age and since both
things are extremely urgent could we bump this thing up a weekend or two at the school.
I know it's not exactly telling the truth and I know both you and I are no liars , but when it comes to certain administrations I wouldn't shed a tear. It might work.
I hope you can figure this thing out ...... the way I see it if it won't change ....event a change ? I suppose you aren't out anything anyway.
Trying to help Bro, but we understand either way.
Speed.

Where the hell at ? I'm listening. I need to hear more of this talk. I think I've even heard Jimmy say before that once a year is great fun but what about twice? or more often.
Sure is something to think about. That way if a group misses the first opportunity they may have a second chance , might be a whole new group of people since this one is
so close to the holiday anyway.

Jimmy!


She is a pretty smart kid. Those are some incredible scores. Cornell is a really good school. You must be really proud parents. Kids are great!

I will see you later this year not to worry, take care of your family first.

Pass my advice on to her: go to Cornell. I did, and I loved it there. Of course, I spent more time hanging out with my friends than studying so my grades were mediocre, but if she's more focused than I was (and it sounds like she is), she'll get an outstanding education. And Ithaca is a great town, and the region is beautiful.

Hell Jimmy - just send her to Harvard Business School and be done with it! She will come out of there making so much money she can support you and your entire family for the rest of your lives . . . of course after the student loan is paid off! :D
