Garrett Duke

*Questionable look* Who are you? You look very familiar, but...

HA HA. How are you Emy? Long time no hear .

Oooo I will be watching the race and looking for the pink Aflac hat!!!! Too bad that it isn't like baseball where they do show the fans, not too often do they show the stands during a race. Up close at least. At least Cubs game, they have a fan cam where they show the fans in the stand from time to time. But I will be watching / looking for you.

I really hope that you have a GREAT trip and enjoy EVERYTHING about it. Hope your race is exciting and that Edwards will win for you - cast aside all the drama from Atlanta. I am looking forward to hearing all about it! I am very excited for you and happy that you get to go. I love the Bristol races! (I love them all, but Bristol is one of my favorites of them all...)

You are way more positive than the movies than I am or ever will be. You are not the only person that said Burt didn't do a good job with Boss. I like Burt so maybe my opinion with him was biased when I went in there. (Afterall my favorite movie is the FIRST Smokey and The Bandit. What's your's?) The most disturbing character for me was Willie as Uncle Jesse. . .(all of this about the movie is my opinion. Of course.)

But yeat perhaps if I got past the fact that they were suppose to be the Dukes, I would think a little better of it. But that isn't my normal taste in movies I guess you would say. I'm more action/police type movie. Like I said, if they did the movie perfectly based on the Dukes, I'd still have a hard time liking it. Though I probably would have enjoyed it, it is still not the DUkes without John, Tom, Cathy, Denver and so on. If you know what I mean...

Once again, thank-you for listening into him (hope you don't spend all the time listening to him (though I think I would. HA HA eh him and Johnson) anyway, just time to time or what not. Anything is fine here.) Cant' wait to hear what you have to report! Then again, I can't wait to hear about your whole trip...and to see the pictures you post! Consider yourself in my thoughts this weekend!

Thank-you! I have always thought it would be interesting to listen into the drivers and to hear what they say. Well sometimes. LOL. You ever see that Coca-Cola commercial? Where at the beginning all the drivers are upset and mad and then they drink their Coke and they all begin singing even though they're crashing? I find it funny...dont' knwo why the whole listening into the drivers reminded me of that, but it did.

I bet Jr and Edwards are interesting to listen into as well. Liked hearing it during the race at Daytona for Jr. Hopefully Edwards will win the race for you, though I am going for Gordon to win. HA HA. I am counterdicting myself this Sunday I guess.

I've heard Gordon get upset on teh radio from what the announcers play from time to time as well. Though nothing he said made him sound bad or anything.

That is neat that your mom pegged what you will be or do. And that she was pretty close if not correct in them. Eh your muse is shy is he/she? I have a shy or quiet muse in Kristy while Garrett is just plain ol' mean, stubborn, and ornery. Oh well...don't know what else to do with him other than keep him. Though I've threatened to tie him to a rail road tracks before. HA HA. Don't think that'd last too long.

Wow...today's your last day of work...lucky you. I am really happy and excited for you.I hope you have a great trip and get to watch an exciting race. You aren't rubbing it in...I was only giving you a hard time. I am happy to hear about your trip and do want to hear ALL about it when you return. Understand? LOL. And three cars in a row, I would think would be convoy.

Well my favorite originally Duke character is Bo, but Luke is shortly after him on my list and then Jesse. I agree with you, they all make the show. You miss one, it ain't right. But Bo has always been my favorite...Hmmm favorite episode. I like the first five episodes of the Dukes, The Ghost of General Lee, Ten Million Dollar Sheriff, and like yorus, the list goes on and on. I am sure I will later think of others to add onto the list that I am not thinking of right now. Though I have to admit, sadly, it's been forever since I watched an ep. Hopefully sometime soon I will change that. . .

You really want my opinions on the Duke movies? Well I strongly dislike them and disagree with them. OK I'll admit, I only watched the first one and that wtas only because I wanted to at least give it a chance and am sorry I had. To me it was everything the DUkes weren't. The only thing that reminded me of the old Dukes was the plot behind it and the only character I thougth stayed the same wy as the old was Boss. I thought Burt Reynolds did a great job with him. Other than that...it wasn't the Dukes. I didn't even attempt to watch the other one.

OK I will shut up about it before I go any farther. I apologize if you do like them...do you?...it is just how I feel about them. Then again, even if they did everything perfect, it still wouldn't be The Dukes I love. But I was willing to give the first move a chance at least. What you think of them?

Yeah yeah, rub it in. You're going to Bristol. HA HA. I am happy and excited for you. Hope your drivers have a great race. Hey talking of you going to Bristol...can I ask you a favor? Do you get those things you can listen into the drivers and their crew talking to each other? If so, could you listen into Gordon/Letarte for a bit or so...I want to know how they talk to each other. If that makes sense. At the end of last year on NASCAR.com fans were saying how Gordon kept cussing and talking rudely or so to Letarte during the race and it has really bugged me since. If you don't want to, that is OK too. Just thought I'd ask.

Oh yeah, Gordon's gonna win. HA HA. Forget Busch...maybe they'll wreck each other out. SOrry I couldn't help myself with that one. NOt a fan of either one of them, though can stand Kurt a little more than Kyle. Though if Edwards wins for you, I'll be happy for you.

Oooo I never knew you wrote. I guess I do learn something new everyday. I would love to see what kind of character you create! All you said makes a lot of sense. My created characters aren't the best and the only one that I seem to know or is somewhat alive is Garrett and he is stubborn and ornery. I am sure you got a muse, you just need to find it and a NASCAR story may just be the place to look! I understand how the whole three stories going and no ending...LOL. I have three Duke stories going on now, though only one I am really concentrating on and that's the one I worked on SUnday on. Plus a Numb3rs fic!

How was your day? Hope it was a good one.

wish I did...I have to go home now. Work went well and smooth, then again we had barely any kinds today. All in all it was an OK day.
