The one with another Jay Update and the prefect alarm clock for Tiffany......

Here is Sheila's latest email from today:

Jan 27th '05:

Jay is still in the hospital but will probably get out tomorrow.

They took him off the morphine pump at his request today. They are going to try and get him on oral pain meds so that he can go home. He realized today, the longer he is on the pump they are going to have to keep him in. He is feeling a little better today so they think the steroids are working. His double vision is being caused by a weak muscle in his eye and he is being referred to a different specialist for that.
He will probably be released tomorrow.

More tomorrow

===================

Ok well I was checking on eof my favorite gadget websites Gizmodo.com and I saw the perfect alarm clock for Tiffany

The story is here


Here is a picture of it

Basically this alarm clock is a glowing ball that hangs above where you sleep. The glow and music go away (if you set it to put you to sleep) and then when the alarm sounds the ball glows and of course makes a noise/radio. They way you hit the snooze on this alarm is you smack the ball. But....after being smacked the ball raises in height a few inches forcing you to stretch even higher to smack it again for the next snooze. Eventually you have to stand up in your bed or turn it off at a different location and reset the clock. LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Like I said it is the perfect alarm clock for my wife Tiffany who's favorite words in the morning are not, "I sure love you boy!" or "I will take the first shower", or even OK, I am off to go fix breakfast", nope, her favorite words are...."just five more minutes." (with a smile of course, heh) That is OK, because if she did not say those words I would think that an alien stole my wife and was "sitting" for her as she fought intergalactic space battles saving planets all over the universe including earth!

Ok, well...maybe I went to far on that one...or did I?

===================

It snowed TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now if you don't know it yet, I think I was born to love snow! It is cold (a great thing for a hairy fat guy) fun (to play in) and pure (white at least in the Biblical understanding....not a comment talking about skin color)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Snow more than a lot of things and it is one of the many things that make me giddy as a school boy and the last day of the year and it turns out to be a snow day! heh.

Alarm clocks are for wimps.

Oh Tiff and Deeg,
If things go like you are praying for them to, you will soon be getting a new alarm clock. One that goes off whenever it feels like it, sometimes several times in the middle of the night. There is no snooze button, and it has no concept of sleeping in on Saturday. If you're really lucky, you can pop in a pacifier, and maybe get an extra 30 minutes. So consider that when looking at new alarm clocks!

HI, D.G. I really love your blog. I think youralarm clock story and that if Tiffany didn't skay "five-minutes more" it would be an alien in your bed. I also loved how tired you were in one of the other days about an athlete that had swum the English channel, etc. I am downloading your sermon. I appreciate all you do. You are amazing to have all the love and yet humor you do.
