We got to video chat with Ivan. My wife took a couple of pics of him in one of his uniforms. He is now off to where is school is to learn his job. We did not have this uniform when I was in, except for the the cover (hat).

Tomorrow is supposed to be a day off from running, but I may just start my marathon training program, unless my wife goes with me. She is just starting out with her running journey. She is complaining about her knee hurting her, so I do not know if she will go or not. Ivan may call on Monday morning, so that is why I will be running tomorrow, instead of Monday. I missed his last call. I do not want to miss another one.

I am one happy man. I have been trying to get my wife to run with me, but she keeps saying that she does not like running cause it makes her tired. Well, a couple of days ago, she told me that she wants to run with me now, and even ordered her some new running clothes. They came in yesterday, so she said that she will start running with me tomorrow morning. It is going to be so much fun running with her and our oldest son, Ivan.

PRAYER REQUEST: I have had a tooth ache for the last month or so, and now, this morning, I woke up with a swollen cheek near that tooth. My wife is going to call a dentist she knows to see if she has an appointment available for me. Thank you all so much.

Sorry to be absent so long, had a tough month health wise for my wife and I and hope to return soon to full speed. May need surgery on my left shoulder and pulled a muscle in the right to add to troubles. But still been plugging away.

What's a good antonym for "disgruntled"? "Happy"? Not descriptive enough. At least that's what someone in the 1930s must have thought when they came up with "gruntled" as a back-formation of "gruntled." A back-formation is the creation of a new word, usually by removing a prefix or suffix, from an already existing one.
