Checking in from Flawda
Good morning, all. Thought I’d check in from here in the lovely Sunshine State. Here’s what’s going on in Coopbro One’s corner of the world.
As y’all know, I have had Courtney with me here since the “crooz.” I was hoping that she would have made friends with kids in the neighborhood but so far, no luck. It’s funny, but I used to see girls who looked to be Court’s approximate age all the time before the summer but now they’re all nowhere to be found. We go to the pool and all we see are teenagers and kids who all look to be 6 or younger. Oh well, she’s still having a good time. I’ve got her in a local YMCA day-camp down the street from my office and she’s made a few friends there, so that’s cool. But guys, I tell you, having her with me fills up my heart. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy things like cooking for her and just taking care of her. I have definitely watched my fill of Disney Channel fare like “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” and “That’s So Raven” but I do so with a smile.
My “Big Four-Oh” is right around the corner so and I’m flying Megan in tonight to be with Court and me for the weekend. I plan to just hang out and be with the girls, maybe go to the beach or something this weekend. As for how I feel about being 40, honestly, I think all the emotions about turning that corner are mostly a woman thing because I don’t really feel one way or the other about it. I’m not going to say that it’s just another birthday, because, let’s face it, it’s not. But it doesn’t feel like the end of the world, either.
I told Mikey this already but I have had the hardest damned time shaking this “cruise fat” off of me. It’s like I got into the habit on that boat of eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and I have found it hard to get back into my normal routine of eating lean and working out. I have done pretty well this week though and am beginning to feel like my old self again. Hopefully, Mikey, I’ll be able to fit into my clothes again in time for your wedding.
I made comment on Mark’s last post about movies I’ve seen which I’ve liked (i.e., nothing lately). The only thing that I’ve kind of been into is the HBO series “Carnivale” which I’m renting from the local Blockbuster. It’s pretty cool but weird, but then I like that sort of thing. It’s got the guy who played John Conner in the last “Terminator” movie as well as uber-villain Clancy Brown playing the role of an insane preacher. It’s also got the guy who played the dancing dwarf in “Twin Peaks” in one of the main roles. It’s about a traveling carnival and is set in the early 1930s during the Great Depression/dust bowl era. The premise is that magic still lingered in corners of America back then, not to be abolished until, as the voiceover in the pilot episode says, “an artificial sun exploded over Trinity.” It’s cool but weird, so if y’all want to check it out, do so at your own risk.
Last point, addressed to Mike. Dude, I hear your home’s beautiful and I hope to see it when I come back to Houston in about a month. I don’t think I’ll be able to make to any of your bachelor parties, but I will be in then. Hope to see you and Molly then.
Till then, Coopbro 1 is out!

Sounds great man! Do you know what specific dates your going to be in Houston? Are you just coming in for the wedding or are there other dates as well. I would love to have you over for dinner. BTW, Debbie told me to tell you "hello".
Well dude, you can tell Debbie that I not only said "hello" but that I did it in my best Barry White voice.
