Dear Albert
Hi Albert,
Thanks for the postcard. I'm not sure why you picked a picture of a kimchi pot. You wanted to know how I spend my days. Well, buddy, just don't get jealous. I'll buy you some cheetohs when I get back to Koreastan.
7:30 am Wake-Up
7:45 am Eat Pancakes with real mcoyster maple syrup and blueberries with Granddad....pretty much everyday. When I'm not eating pancakes, I'm eating scones. YoBaby and oatmeal is for the birds, folks. Well, I'll take the YoBaby as a snack.
8:00 am to 9:00 am Drive Lightning McQueen, my car, around the house, help Babcia do stuff, play with all of my birthday toys.....cars.....trucks....cars....and more trucks.
9:00 am nap
10:00 am Sometimes, I'm awake to talk to Dad. Adventures -- I love walking around stores. Sams is a fave. The old ladies adore me. They use better-smelling perfume than the Korean old ladies. Boy, they smell a million times better. I'm impressed by all the trucks. Trucks are my thing right now. Don't worry, I'm not aspiring to be a truck-driver. That might be a little too WT for me. (Albert, that means "White Trash" as opposed to TT, which is "Trailer Trash." I learned that jargon here.)
12:30 pm LUNCH!
1:00 pm Out like a Light, Albert! Man, the "shoppin'" sure exhausts me. I wish you were here, dude.
3:00 pm Snack and Playtime...Swinging...Playing with cars and trucks.....the possibilities are endless....well, kind of.
5:00 pm Outside to wait for Granddad and his truck. He stops at the beginning of the driveway, and then, I get to "drive" the truck into the garage. Pretty sweet, if you ask me.
6:00 pm Dinnertime. Yesterday, I had homemade pizza, Albert. It was my first time eating "supreme" with tomatoes, olives, peppers.....the works! I nearly at the whole slice. Ugh, like pancakes, I could probably eat pizza everyday. I love that stuff. For dessert, I had my animal crackers from Granddad. And, unlike the ones shipped to Koreastan, these actually came whole. I didn't have to put the animals back together like puzzle pieces. Albert, did you know that they put sheep in the package? We didn't know that, remember? Remember? Our animals looked like roadkill when we opened our package from the commissary. Oh man, Albert, you would have loved the animal crackers here. Don't worry, buddy, I'll get Mom to buy us some decent ones when I get back.
7:00 pm Get ready for Bed; You know me, Albert. When I'm ready to hit the hay, I'm ready.
Well, Albert, that's pretty much how my days go when I don't have something special. This weekend, I'm going out to West Texas to visit Mom's cousin. They live outside Marathon. I'll let you know what that's like. It's probably going to be hotter than pistol.
Miss you, man.
A Bite on the Nose,
Jack
P.S. Who tried calling me collect from Korea? Was that you or the Sandhill Crane? I know y'all are worried about the shark. But, simmer down. He only gets bitter when he hasn't had blueberries. Come to think of it, he's kind of like me, in that regard. Anyway, seriously, Horatio is not that bad. Locke's putting him in his place.
