Maybe he sould be Prime Minister of Awsome in the World Cabinet of Awsomness. I’m thinking that Steve Theobald should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize or Humanatarian of the Year.

Sissy pooh is jumping the pond tonight and will be at the party Friday. Would your friend Steve and his lovely wife enjoy tickets to a Fulham FC match? It would be a very small token of appreciation for all he did. Email today said the car was in great shape! Awsome. Let me know about the tickets.

Sure, most of us are working our ass of in a law firm making little to nothing, but you guys are getting the golden ticket. Think about it: Both of us are in an interview for something. The guy asks me, "So what did you do last summer"? Somewhat pompously, I say "I worked for one of the biggest law firms in Texas, yada yada yada." He asks you, "So what did you do last summer"? You, who decided to only show up in jeans and a worn tshirt, take a swig of your beer, lean back in your chair, and say "I drove to Mongolia." I think at that point the guy throws me out of the office and returns to drink with you while soaking in your story. In other news, your trip still sounds fantastic, and you haven't actually started it yet. That is the crazy thing. Imagine how good the stories will get when you start driving. I am expecting Andy to come back down 15-20 pounds (weight, not money) and I don't think all of this drinking is helping. Here is my only bit of motherly advice...Be awesome on your journey. But don't toe the line of awesome and death too closely. I want to be able to watch the Spurs win the next NBA championship with you guys again in Austin next summer. Andrew PS Andy, you need to write your posts in the same size font as Ryan. They are kinda hard to read.
