Amen, brother.

You havin' a good day, too?

More or less. I'm working, and since I been unemployed for a few weeks, it's good to be back on the clock. My daughter just had her two month checkup today, too, and she's doing amazing. Getting her shots was hard, though...for me, not her. She took it like a pro, I was a fuckin' nervous wreck.

Wow, sounds like you got a lot on your mind. Your daughter's sick?

Nah, it was just standard stuff. Vaccinations, general check up and shit. May's about nine weeks old and she was born about three months premature, so I ain't dicking around with looking out for her health. Doc says she's healthy, normal, and actually pretty advanced. She's small, but already holding her head up like a pro.

The rest is just transitional stuff. I just moved recently, so I had to look for a new job. Finally found one on the Strip, though, so things are finally falling into place.

The what?

The Strip...sorry, I didn't say, did I? I just moved to Las Vegas.

*chuckles* No, no you didn't. At least I don't think you did, you said quite a lot.

The big things have their place too.

Oh, of course!

But I suppose then, so do the small things.

All things can make a day. You just gotta pick the nice ones.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

*grins, offering a hand* Frank Poncherello. But everybody calls me Ponch! Nice to meet you.

Sir Ulrich van Litchtenstein, of Gelderland. *winks, shaking the hand animatedly* But my friends call me Will.

*laughs* Okay, Will sounds just fine to me.

Did to my father too. It's a pleasure, Ponch, but tell me, what is this outfit you wear?

What? Oh! Right, you're probably not from around... it's my uniform. I'm a CHP officer. *puffs his chest proudly*

You're surely not like any officer I've ever seen.

So what about you? Going to a costume party?

*scowls* Very funny.

I wasn't jokin'...

PONCH PONCH PONCH!!!!!

Heey champ!! *big grin*

Hi!! You've been gone FOREVER!

I knoow... I've been really busy. You know how us grown-ups can get. How've you been?

Yeah, being a grown up sounds boring! I'm good. I'm in kindergarten now!

No way! What's it like? Made a lot of new friends already?

Its lots and lots of fun! They aren't good at trash basketball like me and you! I gots a few new friends.
