The battle wounds are looking a little better, which really isn’t saying much. The eye is back to normal size with just one little mark left. But what’s going to bring on the teasing in Tucson is the hillbilly hickie on my neck. Just two tiny hickie marks with a little gap between them. Looks like I went to a drive-in movie with a hillbilly sporting only two teeth.
