(4:17 A.M. Colorado time)

Hi Guys,

Do you have anything for us to address today?

Let me know if you can. I'll let Travis take the day off if you're cool.

When is your Court date again? I'll have everyone in my office put it on their calendars. You can count on us to understand that things might come up.

As far as adding closed captioning, I'm not quite sure at this time on how long that would take us to do that for you. It depends on how many videos we need to add the graphics to. Off the top of my head, I think it would be a solid day of work on our part which is $1200.00.

Thank you,

Keep fighting the good fight, everyone!

Jack

It's 4AM.

Why are you up?

You sound bushy-tailed.

Go back to bed.

Ceci

(4:38 A.M.)

You're right, I just finished off a pot of coffee, LOL!

I was just about to brew more... No?

Jack

Gary and I on the trail to Justice.

Ceci

Hiya! We stepped out. Can you please call us back? Need to talk about that stuff with you.

Jack

Oh God, Ceci.

Up at 3 for 6am flight to Atlanta. I wanted to match your perkiness, but . . .

...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Justin had me contact a cousin in Vancouver about going to college in Canada.

Ceci

Well...

Look at their guy compared to ours.

Vancouver is beautiful too.

Jack

It's is. But I will miss him.

He just called for my credit card info for his College applications. Lately, it's just me and him at the house, like Courtship of Eddie's Father, minus the housekeeper.

I'll back him wherever he goes, but I hope it's Colorado.

Ceci

Yeah, me too.

Courtship of Eddie's Father, groovy show, eh?

Good theme song.

Jack

Bill Bixby. Pre-hulk. What was the housekeeper's name? Mrs.....?

Ceci

?

Alice?

Jack

"How are you today, Mr. Eddie's father."

Ceci

Ohhh right.

Jack

Mrs. Livingston.

Google. I cheated.

Very groovy.

Jack

Morning, Ceci! I'm in the Peach State, Georgia. Plus, EXTRA BONUS, free breakfast buffet! Then we put some CNN executives under oath and I've got a few question for those clowns about Nancy Grace.

Ceci

Well, you DO sound perky and ready for the day!

Jack

Yup. Forgot my pomade. No problem. Used the free hotel Body Lotion. "Citris Mint". Makes me look like Russian Mafia, with a minty smell.

I'm the interrogator for these depositions. So much more work.

I will try to send updates.

Have a great day!

Jack

First day of depositions finished!

Not too shabby. Knock on wood. I think Ms. Grace is in trouble. Shock and awe strategy. Meaning I confronted the CNN Exec's with video and documents that we gathered in the Death Star phase. Dropped concrete evidence like bombs. Dropped it in front of them, in back, and on both sides. Then, with the facts staring them in the face, asked for the truth.

Actually got some.

We're doing fine, girl!

Day 2

Hotel

Ceci

Keep going! Oh that's nice.

Jack

Tom Metier is off doing a trial somewhere. He sent a young associate Galen Trine to help out.

Galen is the grandson of trial lawyer icon, Bill Trine. The women at Tom's office call him "Galen Dreamy Eyes." Things went so well yesterday that I'm having him take over the questioning this morning. He's psyched, but putting up a good show of calm. I'm excited, jazzed watching him get ready. Full video deposition of a CNN Vice President.

3-2-1 Go....

So far so good. Taking a break.

Ceci

👍👍👍

Jack

Done. Went well.

Galen did great!

In airport waiting 5 hours for flight. Wrote another poem....

CECI'S POEM:

Jack

Okay. I admit it. Not as good as the first.

But every once in a while, you've got to step up and take the shot.

"Take the shot". I'm in an airport sports bar. Finishing a beer. Watching MSU basketball. Monet at Giverny, you get Water Lilies. Me at a sports bar, you get, "Take the shot".

Actually, I just re-read the poem. Not so bad. It has a certain rhythm. Probably better read aloud, in a half empty hippy squat, smoky with herbs, and sincerity.

There is an ancient, brightly dressed lady in a wheel chair here in the terminal. She is telling ghost stories while we wait for our flight.

Awesome!

Should I try to sleep?

But I keep hearing, and seeing, and moving.

Ceci

I think your poem is quite good. I'm glad you had a good day. I think you had a good day.

Yes, now get some wonderful restful sleep.

On the plane sleep.

What will the combo of the day and these ghost stories reveal in your dreams?

Jack

Yes.

Sleep.

You're right.

Sweet dreams, Ceci.

Ceci

WTF holy crap!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Jack

Yeah! Not too shabby. I told you he was good. Now, let's see what Tom and the rest of us can do with Nancy Grace!
