Levi Sale

As many of you know, Curtis continues to wear Levi Strauss. He has been a loyal and devoted customer since Jr. High School. At any time, one could count some 15 pair hanging in his closet. As he discards the older pair for newer ones, the scene is reminesent of the Michelin Man saying goodby to his tires as they leave the assembly line. The other day he was sitting in the office reading the newspaper, when he came across an advertisement for the famous jeans. All at once he was out the door and through the house like it was on fire. A cry was heard as he ran for the garage; "Transfer all money to the WAMU account, STAT" He jumped in the car and was gone in an instant. The screeching of tires was heard as his car raced down the driveway. A neighbor caught him on film leaving the subdivision. That must have been some sale...

Central Park Sighting

While reporting the news in New York City, I captured the above photo of Lang Corporation's Board of Directors, strolling through Central Park. Taking a break from the rigers of Investments, bank blocks, and high level insurance deals, The Langs appeared to enjoy the city's nightlife. Asked about his take on the "Big Apple", President and CEO, Curtis Lang was qouted as saying, "Actually, I am just a shy quiet, naive country boy, unlearned in the ways of big city life. I feel out of place here, and much prefer sitting down in my local library, doing book reports. They were my first love back in High School, and I have continued to embrace my one true passion. I didn't date back then, as my only companions were my pocket proctector, and slide rule. Right now, I am just finishing a report on the Dewey Decimal System. Facinating subject for us book report specialists. Most of my school days were spent in the library as you might imagine, so you can understand my trepadation here in New York". Teri, CFO and Division Director was quoted as saying, "I love this place!! I was made for this city. All my friends live here; Prada, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Versace, and Michael Kors. Being a former model, New York is my second home. I am speaking at the National Investment Stragety Seminar tomorrow, and will encourage the atendees to invest right here in the "Big City". When asked about any insider tips, Teri responded with, "stay away from all soda company stock. Curtis is waving off all soda and the effects will be felt thoughout the financial market. If you think the failure of WAMU, AIG and the impending fall if Wachovia is substantial, wait until the Dr. Pepper empire falls. This will take Wall Street to it's knees"!!!

Here She is!!

After repeated requests from Ashlie and Victoria for more coverage of their mother on this site, their wishes have been granted. This former model and current real estate guru, has turned her attention to re-tooling the grand kid room. Known to have wiped out Toys R Us in Henderson in equiping the toddler paradise, she is now on a quest to find bigger, better, and more fun! Soon to be additions are Pacman and Donkey Kong arcade games. Teri has also located additional couches to compliment the Spiderman, and Cinderella couches currently residing in the ultimate playland. It is rumored that Batman and Little Mermaid will be joining the couch collection. Also reports have been circulating that Teri is going to move the play area to a bigger room. With all the planned purchases, one wonders if we should build a large commercial building... If any of the grand kids are reading this, please remember that Grandpa is the one that keeps the treat fridge stocked with ice cream, pop cicles, and cream bars. He is also responsible for keeping ALL the candy bowls well stocked. Grandma does supply the Gummy bears... (which is a full time job when Owen comes to visit)

September News

Another month and still nothing exciting to report. Nicole and Ryan are another year older, and I am one step closer to blue hair, support shoes, ear hair, untimely body noises, and dentures entering my life. (Teri is less than thrilled) Thanks a lot kids... Dr. Pepper has made a comback of sorts in the household, and Teri keeps stringent controls on all outgoing "cracklers". I have made a new resolution however, that starting January 1, I will limit the intake of natures refreshing liquid gold, to one per day. It is time I recommit to eating healthy (including wheatgrass) and exercising.

Ashlie is finally tying the knot this Thursday. Please keep gifts to under $40,000.00. Mason and Ashlie are going to reside in the big city of Bluffdale, Utah. Hollywood has been put on notice that Miss Ashlie's career has been put on hold(being mommie comes first). Nicole has been stunt driving and was showing Elle and Miles how to do tricks in Mommie's car. Ryan has now purchased every single attachment made for his weed eater, and is growing a virtual produce stand in his back yard. Kristi has been spending weekends in beautiful cabins reading books, while Hazel and Lincoln yearn to spend the weekend with Grandpa. Charise has been attending movies, and waging war on the bugs in her garden. Victoria is attending High School, and is now an official "babe magnet". Known to be quite the attraction, she has been known to cause several car accidents as she crosses the street for seminary. Teri is spending her time these days waiting for her new grand daughter. The new one should be here in a couple of weeks. I have offered a prize of $1,000.00 to the first person to use the name "Curtistina", but no takers... My heart is back to normal, and I am free to lift all cute grandkids now. Should be an exciting week, and I hope everybody has a great one! Remember, Teri's birthday is coming up. She keeps leaving me hints around the house, like Prada, Gucci and Jimmy Choo. Is she asking for some type of candy, gum, or cough medicine???
