let me tell you a lil story.

in the year one billion there was an election for president of the world. the fine citizens of earth went to their voting booths and pressed the voting buttons with their minds. no room for error that way.

the guy they ended up choosing was named Rob Bott. he was totally a hunk, super good-looking, huge pectorals and biceps. looked like that dude from terminator but way hotter. anyways, he began to appoint counsels to build robots for various functions in the world. everybody was super pumped because the robots were doing the work nobody liked, like wrapping up dirty diapers, throwing away dirty diapers by eating them, and making sure no one ever has to interact with dirty diapers in any capacity.

he also made the robots run on garbage and pee which was sweet because then everyone could stop dumping that stuff in oceans and the ground. everybody was super pumped about rob bott.

then once on tv rob bott was giving a speech about fire safey. everyone in the world was watching it on their brains. (thats where people watched tv in the year 1,000,000,000). anyways, rob accidentally lit his face on fire. then it melted off and all these wires and metal junk was exposed. rob tried to shield his hideous face but it was obvious, rob bott was a robot. the whole world got super ticked. he was arrested and scientists put a bunch of sensors in his butt that made him feel pain. then everyone in the world was allowed to kick him in the butt once.

from then on everyone hated robots a lot. our national motto was extended "in God we trust, on robots we spit." the american flag had one side with the stars and stripes and another side with a huge foot kicking a robot in the butt. also, the quarter had a picture of rob botts face on it. but his face was on fire. the general consensus was that robots sucked... a lot. everyone started calling them robutts.

Tried to leave you a post on your FB wall but it said I couldn't-- will post here:
Hello from Texas, my friend. I am long overdue in responding to your email--please forgive me. Yes, I got your first email--the one that was so kind and honoring on my last day at WITW. Life is out of normal right now as you would guess and I had intended to write you a wonderful long greeting in return, telling you about this new adventure I'm on. Problem is I got delayed and you may have misread my lack of writing for something other than what's happening in my heart. So, hear this: we shall forever be friends. We've got a bond in friendship and in Christ that surpasses all the confusing turns of events of late. I so highly respect you, enjoy you, am grateful for you and pray for you that you will be in my heart and mind for life--and then in life to come. I hope you're smiling right now cause that's how I'm picturing you. I'm feeling God's hand on my life in this new world I'm in. Found a great church that I'm getting involved in--I'm actually going to two churches for different reasons. My job isn't terribly time demanding, so I've got time to pursue some personal projects. Im still praying, expecting, to sell my townhouse in Elgin. WIll return when movers get my stuff and then another roadtrip south. (I like road trips!). Im living in the house that I will buy once mine sells. I'm really camping inside the house--empty rooms, just me and my computer and clothes and kitties. It's kind of fun in that enduring sort of way. Of course adjusting to this unexpected change is hard so pray for me--in all the ways you can imagine. I see that you have an adventure starting today--what is it? I will always be your prayer warrior and these days I'm praying alot (a good thing to be in need!). I'm believing that you have already forgiven me for not writing sooner, so I'll close with confidence that we're OK. If not, please advise and we will work it thru. Grateful for you. As always, with love to you, my friend. :) Barb (bpeil424@gmail.com)
