     Tank Griswald updates us on what's been going on with him the past few weeks.

Tank here.  Sorry for not writing; have been inundated with homework; that Bible Theory class is about to do me in!  Argggh!!

Suddenly, that thought of my joining up with my friend Dominico's rock'n'roll band, "The Hairballs", is starting to look more and more inviting.

I also have been dealing with the recent injury of another friend, Wayne (Wayne-Beaux) Thibodeaux.  He was riding his motorcycle on I-35W, towards Burleson (just south of here), when he wrecked out after he hit a retaining wall.  He is still in the hospital as of this writing; he suffered serious, multiple injuries.  He's going to face a very long recovery period.

As of this time, doctors don't know if he's going to ever walk again.  Right now he's paralyzed from the waist on down; he may have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.  Very devastating news; I have been praying hard for Wayne and his family!

Steffi Sandusky and I are still an item; I don't see her as much as I would like because it seems I'm always studying or attending another class!  Arggh!!  I miss our time together!  About the only time we talk to each other anymore is in passing between classes or when we text message/e-mail one another!

Steffi is worried about her little brother, Johnathon.  He is reported to be getting weaker; I pray not!  He's been through so much already with his muscular dystrophy; I have been on my face in prayer for him as well.

The weather may get strong to marginally severe from Sunday to Monday night; more likely the further east you go, but we'd be on the back edge if any does form.  I pray not; we had some pretty interesting weather here a few weeks back, like around Valentine's Day week.  Tornado watches/warnings, heavy rains, big hail, ugly, seething clouds:  the whole schmoo.

Thankfully no damage here, but Oklahoma sure got smacked around, as did parts of eastern Texas!

I hate springtime in Texas!!

Makes me wish I could move to Alaska, where the only storms they have are the northern lights!!  LOL

Well, I have to finish my Bible Theory homework (GRRR), then I'm going to bed, where I plan on sleeping in the rest of this weekend!  If anybody dare to try call me or ask me to do something, I may have to become unChristianlike and commit murder!!  LOL  I will write in here again soon; until then, this is Tank Griswald signing outta here!  Good night!

~Tank.  :)

Hello Karen,

Tank's story is as brisk as he is. Regarding his friend's injury, a motorcycle injury has frequently caused spinal cord injury because of speed and impact. So sad for someone so young to lose mobility of legs.

This boy must be in a diet of chili-pepper so fiery he can be, maybe Steffi can tame he a little.
