My dad called the other day and told me that he was concerned about me.
He said that Jack is not a real person and I shouldn't talk as if he is.
He said that Jack was not "playing in the sprinkler".
He said that others he has encouraged to check my site will start to think he's the father of a looney.
I simply said that in fact, Jack WAS playing in a sprinkler as you could see from the pics.
And my referring to Jack as I do probably stemmed from being single for so long.
But I take comfort in the fact that I'm not the only one who does it.

So...
Just the other day, I was thanking God that despite the psycho driving here in SC, my life and Jack's had been spared.
Last night I left Jack out on the driveway in a different spot.
This morning I went out to go to class and found that there was a big dent in his door.
Turns out that my neighbor (a really nice girl, but consequently, a SC native) had backed into him.
So poor Jack is hurt.
He did not escape SC unscathed.
But it was close...4 months out.
