			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To my love, Julie</p>
<p>Please come back. I miss you so much.  I am so sorry for all the things I have put you through.  You are the strength that gives me reason to live.</p>
<p>I am sorry for all the words that I said to you.  You know if I could take them back I would.  I only say these things to try to hide the hurt that you may have caused me.  I never mean for those things I say to be taken to heart, there just words spoken when I am frustrated at the situation.  </p>
<p>I am sorry for all the times it seemed that I took your feeling for granted.  You’re right, I should listen to you more but I truly know what you’re feeling inside and it pains me so to be reminded of it.  I promises if you give me a chance that I will start to take the time to really listen to how you feel.  I will also try to express how I feel to you so you won’t think that I don’t care.  </p>
<p>I am sorry for not giving you the words that you wanted to hear.  You’re right when you said that I should have told you that I wanted you to stay here with me instead of trying to push you into playing my game.  This time you have won and I submit to you fully.  You staying here is all I have ever wanted and all I have ever needed.  I now feel so hollow inside with out you.  Last night I slept in half-hour increments with an hour of waking in-between, worrying about what I have done.  I deserve it but with much regret.</p>
<p>I promise that I will try to be a better person for you.  I will work at being there more for you with the children but you know it can be hard at times for me.  I never lied to you and said I would be a good parent, I just know that I haven’t got it in me but were I have failed you in support with the kids I have made up for that in giving all of you the security that you all needed.  I went ahead a used everything I had to get you and your family in a permanent house so that they could enjoy a stable life and not be bounced around like you were.  You must give me credit for giving you and your children a better life because I have.  You know that I think of them as my own it is they who don’t think of me as a father.  I have tried to help raised them for the last ten years and have been there for them which is more then anyone can say about there paternal fathers.</p>
<p>I have tried to take care of the other problem that plagues this household in the only way I can.  I worry about the feeling that I have for him and when I look inside myself I am truly ashamed.  It will be taken care of shortly like I promised but you need to give me time.  I also can’t go one feeling like a prisoner in are home because of him.  I talked to his mother last night and gave it to her straight.  I let her know how I truly feel about him and told how I resented that he has totally destroyed our lives in the last three years.  She has been let known that I am done with the whole situation and cannot go on for any longer.  She got mad at me for telling her how I feel about him and then turned around and in not so many words told me she felt the same why too.  I do feel said that he has to live places that have no love for him but I don’t know what else to do.  I can’t go on living like this anymore.  It hurts me so much to see and treat you this way but I know that I to am at my end with it all.  </p>
<p>I now realized that what I have been giving for the longest time is not what it has been that you needed.  I am so sorry that I have such a hard time talking about our feelings together and that It takes something of this magnitude to wake me up to reality.  If you would give me a second chance I promise to you that I will never take for granted again.  With all the stress that we have been through the past few years I have seemed to withdraw from you a bit but I have never stopped cherishing you.  I am a weak person without you and need you as much as you need me to get through all of this.  I can’t do this alone any more just as you have told me that you can’t.  Your right that are communication has went downhill lately but that has been because I have been so lost and ready to give up.  You have shown me that it is not you that I want to give up on but yet this is how I make you feel.  I promise to try harder if you give me another chance and to stand up and not be the weakest link in our relationship.  </p>
<p>Ten years ago I met the most beautiful love of my life.  I promised to always take care of you and I have failed in the most simplest of needs.  If I could take back the last few years of our lives I would and I would try my hardest to be there for you emotionally like you need.  </p>
<p>Please reconsider me, for you have shown me where I have failed you.</p>

There&#8217;s this podcast that I listen to called &#8220;Get This&#8221;.  It is from Triple M radio in Australia.  It features Tony Martin, Ed Kavalee and Richard &#8220;Armitage Shanks&#8221; Marsland.  They have made a Limited Edition CD called Illegal Download.  There is only 1000&#8242;s copies of this and it is only available to callers and hopefully e-mailers of the show.  It contains a lot of the stuff that they couldn&#8217;t put on the website or have in the podcast so I have missed out.  I would sell one of &#8220;me plums&#8221; for one of these.</p>
<p>I became a fan of <a href="http://www.mrock.com.au/">MMM</a> from my forum friend <a href="http://grumpyoldwoman.net/">Eve</a> who suggested it for podcasts.  Since the first show I heard I was hooked.  The premise of the show is to talk to a different co-host every day, discuss ultra geeky things and make you laugh out loud.  </p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Martin_%28comedian%29">Tony Martin</a> comes from a small town in New Zealand that was so boring, the only activity on the weekend was for the kids to do burnouts around the towns giant wooden bottle.  Add a flood and humor ensues.<br />
Tony is the writer of the book &#8220;Lolly Scramble: A Memoir of Little Consequence&#8221; which is next to impossible to get here in the States. </p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Kavalee">Ed Kavalee</a> is the man of the broken promises.  He also is part of the cast of &#8220;Thank God Your Here&#8221; and the KFC ads.  While he&#8217;s not quite a pro on the ping-pong table he is the master of the crap gifts.  The thing I want to know is &#8220;Do they make burlaps sacks big enough for you?&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Marsland">Richard Marsland</a> has about as many  <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/saltnpeppermint/2339.html">nicknames</a> as he has buttons on his panel.  He is always ready for any sound at a moments notice.</p>
<p>The official Get This web page is here <a href="http://www.mrock.com.au/shows/get_this/index.php">GET THIS HOMEPAGE</a><br />
On it you will find various show notes and a great library of some of the soundclips from the show.</p>
<p>For those who want to know the podcast feed is <a href="http://podcasts.triplem.com.au/get_this.xml">http://podcasts.triplem.com.au/get_this.xml</a></p>
<p>BTW- Just in case anyone from the Get This team reads this I wanted to let you know that I saw Howard Jones in concert back in the early 90&#8242;s.  It was him and a grand piano (no synth).  My Friend Tone worked for a ticket agent and received them for free.  The bad part was he also had tickets to David Byrne a few nights later and took someone else to that.  I never forgave him.</p>

We haven&#8217;t had any real snow here in Spokane for a few years and I am hoping this is the start of a real winter.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well after a week on vacation I went back to work today.  Vacation was good; I did nothing for a whole week!  The Sweetie and I had time together until the children got home from school, and then it was back to the evening grind of transporting the children to their activities.  </p>
<p>On Thanksgiving I smoked the turkey on the BBQ.  Started it at 8:30 in the morning.  It was frigging cold with the temperatures around freezing the whole time I smoked it.  When you do this with a BBQ you need to stay outside with it the whole time in case of any flare-ups that might turn the bird into a charcoal lump of indigestible crap.  </p>
<p>Friday I went to my local sporting goods store to get a new pair or work pants.  At the store Chuck Buck of <a href="http://www.buckknives.com/">BUCK KNIVES</a> was their with a booth setup.  He was there signing knives and just doing general PR work.  Buck knives have just recently moved to Post Falls, ID from California.  I carry a Buck knife with me all of the time as everyone who knows me could tell you, so I thought I would get him to autograph mine.  He used an engraver to autograph it.    </p>
<p>I use this knife everyday and have loved it very much; it was a proud moment for me to meet Mr. Buck again.  I had met him before when I was around 9-10 years old.  He and his father had a booth setup at a NRA convention that was in Seattle around 1980.  I watched his father take my dads knife and re-work a blade that had broke on it.  It was at this time I became a Buck owner for life.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I finally got around to doing this.  I am not quite sure what I will be doing with this site so you will have to bear with me until I figure out a format.  The look may be changing here shortly to give it a more fun look.  My good friend Tone (Bio) has set this up for me and is also hosting me.   </p>
<p>Lately I have been having fun thinking of a Logo for this site.  While dinking around with PhotoShop I came up with a few I like.<br />
<img src="http://zipperland.com/images/phillipszipperland.gif" alt="Zipperland/Phillips 66" /><img src="http://zipperland.com/images/roverzipperland.gif" alt="Zipperland/rover" /><img src="http://zipperland.com/images/wolfsheadzipperland.gif" alt="Zipperland/Wolfs Head" /><br />
Not sure if any of these will make any more appearances here or not.  More are to come.</p>
<p>The only thing happening this week is VACATION!!!!!  We will see if I actually get anything done this week or not.</p>
