Ashley's Cucumber Plant

Ashley's cucumber plant is now about 5 feet tall and loaded with blooms. I have to go out every day and tie up some of the vines. It sure is a fast growing cucumber.

I called my Dad this afternoon and it's the first time that he didn't recognize my voice and say, "Well hello Stephen". Today I could tell he was wondering who I was, so I said, "Hi Daddy, this is Stephen". He then said, "Well hello Stephen, where are you"? For the last few years he always says, "Where are you"? I've been in Kansas City for about 11 years now and he can never remember where I am. Anyway, other than that he sounded pretty much like himself and said he was doing fine. He told me that Delton comes over everyday and fixes him breakfast. Thank you Delton for doing that for Daddy.

We are on pins and needles about my job. We still have not heard if my application is going to be outsourced to IBM.

Steps today 3301. This is bad. It's harder, and harder to walk in this heat. Maybe I ought to go for one of my 5K walks tonight while it's cool.
