Tyler's New Owie

Well, last night at 10:43 PM the phone rings, it is never good news when someone calls that late. I was of course in bed so Rick answers it in the living room. I can hear him say things like " Did you get him?" and stuff like that. So, I figured it wasn't something that drastic, and it really wasn't. Deputy Bengard got sucker punched in the face by a P-A-L, a parolee at large for us commoners. Thank goodness he has those caveman eyebrow bones. He has 5 stitches and was sent home from his shift. He now has a new trophy and story to tell during the holidays. His Captain is probably wondering if Tyler needs stitches every couple of months just to keep him balanced. Out of the last 2 weeks Tyler has worked 9 hours. Last weekend his girlfriend, Shelly, became Dr. Shelley Ann Burmaz. She is a Chiropractor and the poor girl has no idea what she is in for at family gatherings, so many old bones, so little time. We were at a party for her graduation on Friday and I got the picture I have beeen wating for, a family shot that everybody was in. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jamie is going to clean it up and I am going to get several copies for the Bengard dinner that Kim and Tom are hosting this Saturday. It is kinda too late to do Christmas cards, so I am going to send out a New Years card. It is too good of a picture to wait a year to send out. Well, if I don't have anything else to write about this week, I wish eveybody a Merry Christmas and a great New Year.
